Underage drinking got caught by boss
Hi guys,
So I just finished the 2nd week of my summer internship think (JPM, GS, MS, ). To celebrate, my intern class decided to go to a bar's happy hour. I decided to go and I got a drink but I was not carded (not 21 one more year). After getting the drink, my manager(VP) who knows that I'm not 21 saw me (I didn't know she was at the bar) and came over to where I was and said "she saw that I'm drinking when not 21 but it's going to be our secret and she wouldn't tell".
Should I be worried and would that reflect badly on me?
P.S I'm a female. I paid with my own money and there were other employees at the bar.
Thanks.
Her comment makes it clear this is not a problem.
relax no one cares. You should worry more about not being "that" girl. Quit being so uptight you should really not worry especially after what she said
Yeah let it go. Also I'm guessing UBS given the grouping
haha not sure how UBS fits into that group. Which one is least like the others?
Thanks for the quick response, I guess I'm over thinking it. And NO, it's not UBS.
That was my first time drinking at a bar. I mostly drink at home.
Wow, what's wrong with UBS? And drinking at home (esp. if you mean alone) sounds sad.
There is nothing wrong with UBS, my cousin interned at UBS last year and he loved it. I didn't want to give the name away but it's one the three (JPM, GS, MS). I don't drink alone but with my 21 and over friends at my house.
Also, I have a dog, so I never drink alone. We cook steaks and drink brandy. Fuck you.
sounds like you need to work on your social skills if you can't pick up her intentions if that is what she said word for word.
dafuq is this thread serious?
Well, she just told you in plain English that she doesn't care, it can't be any clearer than that, unless of course, you do not understand English...
A friend bought VP drinks before he was 21 (VP knew he wasn't 21) and still got an FT offer, actually that same VP was the one that made the offer.
I started working there 2 weeks and I have only had 1:1 with her 5 times so I couldn't pick up her intention.
She started by saying "she Is friends with the bartender and that she is going to give him my information to know that I'm underage but she later said ...it will be our secret and she won't tell".
Obviously, I freaked out a lot.
im in the firm belief that most working there believe that either the drinking age should be 18 or just dont give a crap. if i saw one of the SAs underage drinking i would not care in fact it might me thing better of them because at least they have some social skills
She's teasing and just f'ing with you. I know no one who would care and if a VP did you wouldn't want her on your side because no one would like her. I pay off bartenders and bouncers to let interns and admin people drink.
This. Please don't be the retard that goes to events and announces that you're underage and can't drink. You did fine; don't get trashed and no one will care.
Reasons why I threw Sheet at you OP:
Your username is a reference to the homo on Big Bang Theory
I can deduce with a confidence interval of 95% that you are Asian (if not then Jewish)
You are incredibly uncool.
Like the judicial concept of innocent until proven guilty, you are a fag OP until proven otherwise
She's clearly not as cool as you... playing video games so much that you think you've developed enhanced musculoskeletal dexterity that can of all things make you better at excel.
If she's so uncool by your standards, where do I sign up for a similar indictment?
Buried..
Damn yo, you quoted me from another thread I made. I just hope you don't pull a muscle...you know, trying so hard
Honestly boggles my mind that some of the OP's on this site have SA or FT stints. Zero relational or emotional intelligence.
Lol. Da fuq is this...
I've spent a lot of time on the internet so I'm pretty much an expert in these types of situations. A couple of months down the line you two are going to be working really late and she;s going to ask you for a back rub. When you say no she;s going to say she saw you drinking illegally and will tell the CEO of the company on you. Before you know it... you are giving her a back rub than go back to work on your excel
Yeah and then the next time it won't be her back that you're rubbing. Just FYI.
Just be glad this happened at GS/JPM/MS. I don't even want to begin to think about what would have happened if you were at DB/CS/BAML or let alone Citi/Barclays/UBS
@"WallStreetOasis.com", ever considered starting a Social Retard Oasis? It would be a real money maker.
I was gonna call you a massive pussy. But you're a chick, so...
Don't be such a pussy, hon.
Damn I get messed up every weekend on hard liquor. I guess that's why I'll have to settle for Big4 or CorpFina but still some uptight peoples in here.
I think you're fine, wouldn't worry about it.
Not everyone in Finance has a booming social life and exposure to it, there are people who legitimately study 99% of the time. OP probably studied hard and deservingly landed that SA gig @ top BB firm and you guys are grilling her for being paranoid about her situation. It's fine as long as you don't make a fool of yourself in front of your peers.
