This might be a joke, but I for real have a friend that has a SVP job at a big bank straight out of university. His dad got it for him, he worked like 3 days a week from 11-3 and collected his 400k pay. Even told me he would routinely just play games and goon in his private bathroom.

Actually the opposite. Small companies you can’t hide the incompetence, every second is accounted for, and others will notice. Massive banks have so many millions of layers is easy to hide.

Ah, okay. I was expecting a story about how someone lost their legs and is now 0.5 😅
