Instagram Direct Message to Rich Handler *gone wrong*

Randomly sent a DM to Rich Handler: "Get me a summer internship please". He replied with "Not the most mature way to start a conversation".

Does this mean I'm blacklisted from Jefferies?

Whatever, Handler seems like an out of touch lucky boomer as opposed to gritty CEO that earned his seat. He has so many red flags that modern CEOs that earned their seat do not have.

For example, he posted videos of himself having a fun time during COVID - specifically when the firm was putting their shoes on their team's face. I won't lie, I push our team hard but I think it's very unfair to push them harder than you work as CEO. If you are going to be a hypocrite, you shouldn't post IG videos with your horse-like daughter.

you should never take any man seriously that wears that many bracelets

scratch that, you shouldn't trust any man that wear bracelets and isn't a monk
