I'm a first year analyst at a NYC boutique. Today, I observed my red-faced MD fling open our second story window and furiously shout at some sorry soul below to "shut the f*ck up!"
I glanced out to see who it was, he was yelling at a bird.

thats brilliant
Why can't we have more posts like this and less about asking how much xyz bank pays despite 5 threads talking about the same thing on the front page
Lol fr this OP genuinely made me laugh
How much does xyz bank pay?
All that means is that you should be ready for everyone above you to get a promotion; your MD will die at his desk from a heart attack.
Birds be chirping at this bruh
Based and high-test-pilled
Times are tough, cant just go home and beat the wife anymore. Can't force the mistress into sodomy. Poor bird.
This confirms that birds were created by the government.
Do you think the bird still has a shot at getting promoted to VP?
What bank is only on the second story?
TPH Denver office.
It says NYC
Maybe he should join a bank with sound proof windows
That bird is not getting a return offer.
Banking is like birds perched on electric lines. Look down, it’s all shit. Look up, it’s all assholes.
Was it an Allbird?
Had a similar moment when a VP on the floor yelled at a helicopter flying above Hudson River to “stop flying”
