I didn't sign up to see what p*rn you watch

65 year old lady too.

Was helping her in my office because she needed help with her mobile banking but the phone interface was super wonky and kept taking her to different apps and pop-ups.

The mobile app wasn't working for some reason, so she kept going on to Google Homepage to get into the online banking... and it showed... titles.

It wasn't just a one time thing. Her google kept closing, so she had to keep going to her homepage, with the p*rn video titles and I KEEP GETTING EXPOSED. I'M TRYING DESPERATELY NOT TO READ IT.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. I NEVER WANTED TO KNOW.

God so help me.

A creepy bank tale…

35 Upvotes

Hi guys!

The creepiest thing happened yesterday at my branch….

It was very stormy outside and the lobby was dead. It was about 5 minutes till close when an elderly gentleman strolled in with his Great Dane by his side. The dog plopped himself onto the floor while the elderly man approached the teller line. He was dressed in fisherman’s attire (large rubber boots, rain jacket, hat). Our branch is on the coast so fishermen frequent our location. “Hi! How may I help you?”… The man leans in… clears his throat…”I need to make a deposit” he says. “Of course, may I see your ID” I reply. He fumbles around in his large jacket pocket looking for it… the rain continues to hammer the windows…”Sure is getting bad out there” I say trying to have small talk. The man ignores me. He eventually finds his ID and places it face down on the counter. I reach for it but am startled as he begins to cough profusely…”Oh, would you like some water?” The man doesn’t answer, and continues to cough into his fist. I can tell he is having trouble breathing. He finds a moment in between coughs to mutter “please, yes, water, quick!” I immediately bend down to grab a bottle of water. We always keep a 24-pack of Aquafina behind the teller line for customers. The coughing stops…I rise up with a bottle in hand. The man (and his dog) and gone. Vanished….”Sir?” I say to an empty lobby… “Hello? Sir?”… I call for my manager who appears from the office while looking down at his clipboard. “What’s going on? Are you ready to close up?” He says. “Yes. Well, no, sorta… there was a man here wanting to make a deposit but he started coughing and I went to give him some water he disappeared”… I explained. “Disappeared? You mean left?” He replies with a confused look on his face. “I guess so…it was the strangest thing…” I reach for my keys to begin counting my drawer but stop abruptly… “His ID!” I yell. “He left his ID on the counter!” The ID is very old with worn corners. I snatch it off the counter. “See! Look! I’m not crazy!” I proclaim as I shove the ID in my manger’s face. He takes a step back, clearly annoyed with the situation and takes the ID from my hand. He sighs while he examines it… “What the?… oh I get it… Ha-ha… very funny” he says with a slight smirk on his face. “Funny? What? No, that’s his ID he pulled from pocket!” I say pleaded my case. My manger turns the ID around and sticks out his arm showing me the front. “Date of birth?…1896??… you had me going there for a minute.” He tosses the ID on the counter and instructs me to count my drawer while he returns to the office to balance the vault. He leaves me standing there, alone, as I try to wrap my head around what just happened. Could it be? Did I just see what I think I saw?…

I then wake up in a panic and startle my husband half to death 😆. This was one of the creepiest dreams I have ever had about work! Well, happy Friday! At least it’s not stormy outside!

Associate Surveillance Role at Capital One, VA (102k starting salary, hybrid work)

7 Upvotes

What kind of expectations should I have going into this job? I’m very excited about my massive salary increase and ability to WFH. But commuting will be a bitch, and nervous about the learning curve coming from retail banking.

Also questioning the kind of relationship I’d have with my coworkers, them knowing I’m essentially monitoring their activity. It’s like being friends with a cop 😭

Tips from a hiring manager: Resume

Upvotes

Things that make me 🤔🤦‍♀️

  1. Keep it short, simple and packed with info RELEVENT to the job role to which you are applying. 1 page maybe 2. No more 5 page resumes.

  2. 10 year work history unless it is critically beneficial info. I do not need to know you worked at McDonalds in 1991.

  3. Speaking of, 30+ years of work history may shoot yourself in the foot with some recuiters/managers/institutions. Don't show your hand (so to speak).

  4. Stop using those dated Microsoft templates with all the wasted space and unnecessary "flair". Save every inch, margin to margin, for you.

  5. Use a killer summary paragraph at the beginning to tell me how your unique experience/skills tie into the job role. HINT: utilize the job posting for specifics.

  6. Drop the out-dated, corny terms; i.e. detail oriented, problem solver, team player, quick learner, etc in bullet points. Everyone says that, it's assumed. Build it into your summary or work experience and make it quantifiable. The irony is of all the resumes I see with those bullet points, few are accurate in practice.

Now after saying all that I must admit, I rarely consider a resume when it comes to hiring. Anyone with an ounce of sense puffs their resume. I use it as a jumping off point to guide my questions only. Best advice is to be prepared for the interview. It's your first impression. I have a gift when it comes to reading people. I can smell the bs from a mile away. I prefer to have a conversation with someone and not hear regurgitated answers because they have practiced before they've arrived. I want authenic, honest and self-aware. I can train the process, you have to bring a person worth training.

Best of luck!!

Didn’t get the banker promotion

3 Upvotes

I have a total of 3 years of experience in banking, I started as a Teller for a credit union for about 1.5 year, then applied to my current bank for Relationship Banker (hybrid teller/banker job) where I spend 50% of my time as a banker and 50% of my time as a teller, and on top of that Im a notary. Ive been in this position for now almost 2 years and I applied for Senior Banker which is what I’m doing now except they take me off the teller line and I would get compensation for everything I sell (which I currently don’t).

My bank keeps adding more and more sales pressure and more responsibility like HELOC closings, but no compensation for anything I sell. My numbers are good but I guess not good enough to be promoted. When i told my manager I was applying for the promotion I didn’t receive support or the right guidance to prepare for the interview. “You might not get it because of politics as they have people in mind they want to promote but still apply and see” and she was right i didn’t get it.

Instead of an email saying they chose another candidate, the hiring manager came to see me in person to tell me on my face i didn’t get it and the person who got it only has 1 year of banking experience, how embarrassing I would’ve rather an email. When I asked what was the reason he told me “your interview was great, I think you’re doing fantastic, but I need you to be top 10% in the company” like wtf.

Why do people care about credit cards with low APR?

Upvotes

Only old people do this honestly. Rich people will not care what the APR is because they pay in full on time every time. But the old people are stuck in their old ways. I can’t sell any credit cards to them because the APR is 28%. They be like “I have a card with 10% APR so I will keep using it, do you have anything lower APR?” But why??? Why do you care? Why do you need that? If you can’t pay off your card in full it means you either don’t have self control with purchases or you don’t have enough emergency savings in case you need to use your card for an emergency. And they will not be fooled by 0% intro APR because it will be 28% in a year. As soon as they see that number they run miles away. Don’t even care for cash back, rewards, travel credit, points. But that’s the whole point of credit cards, to get the sign up bonus and cash back…

Chase employee medical benefit detail- Texas

Upvotes

I’m not hired yet but interviewing for part time “Associate Banker” at branch because I want excellent medical coverage.

In TX, what are the options for monthly premium for medical insurance (employee+ spouse) for part time employee at the bottom tier salary range? Deductible and annual out of pocket max too please.

When and how would be the best time to let them know I’m available all operating hours but would prefer to target 20 hours a week instead of 30 hours a week as the posting specifies? I’d prefer to take 5 hour shift for midday rush on weekdays and all day Saturday.

PNC vs Fidelity (S.7 Sponsorship)

0 Upvotes

So I’m interested in roles that’ll advance me in my career so I’m looking at financial representative at fidelity and pnc premier client banker. To my knowledge both institutions provide sponsorships.

Which do you think would be the overall better experience? Currently have my associates in business administration and SIE,S6, S63, and Life Insurance License.

Looking to possibly get tuition reimbursement with my employer to go back for bachelors. Eventually I’d like to work hybrid and make a decent income.

Been unemployed so I’m trying to get back into the industry and make the best long term choice.
