Controversial

CS asked us for our “sweater & vest sizes” and mentioned they’d be sending us packages so we’ll see

 

I love that I got monkey shit for being “inaccurate” as if I didn’t fill out a survey yesterday indicating I’d like a women’s medium, please

 

Anything above 60 hours/week will be escalated to senior management. If you think I'm lying, just try putting in 70 hours this week, and we'll go from there.

 

Considering most firms aren't giving laptops, I'm pretty grateful mine gave me a full setup (laptop + dock + monitor) even if it's only for the summer. Lots of people have shitty laptops that won't be able to run a heavy Excel spreadsheet and other programs at the same time.

 

My bank gave the interns bank-branded underwear, shirts, socks, phone chargers, bar soaps, vests, and mugs.

I wear the underwear every day to sleep.

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
 

Even the women?

HSBC sent backpack with small stuff (pens water bottle sanitizer etc.) as well as laptop and headset

 

Honestly having a SA stint during these times is a perk in and of itself
