Oh, cool! You make saxophones?

No it’s golden sacks that you can get into, but only if you’re a man. Very popular in Europe

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No, it's Goldman's sacks. They make branded bags.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No, I’m sorry, you’re mistaken. It’s a giant bag for you to climb in to, if you identify as a man. And it’s golden. Ok?

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Actually it's Goldman's Axe, the Finest Axes This Side of Middle Earth

Yes exactly

When I lived in DC this was my favorite thing to do at parties.

"Congressional Staffer? Is that like a temp agency?"

"Department of which state exactly?"

"Yeah ok buddy and I work at the irregular tetrahedron."

People would get way too upset about it.

Many of them equate career to quality of person.

When I go back to being a Beltway Bandit, I need to remember these!

"I'll bet you're a VP too."

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago (1 children)

For those in the know, that is a hard roast. Why don't you just kick him in the fork next time?!

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 21 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Oh, Goldman also does the weirdly inflated titles game like Morgan Stanley?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They call everyone a VP so idiot customers can brag about how some important guy gave them investment advice. It's a scam to fool the gullible.

[–] TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think originally it came from banking regulations requiring high level approval before someone could do risky shit. So now everyone is a VP

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 4 months ago

So, it was a legal loophole? That's kinda even more shady lol

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Most financial institutions do, even down to local banks.

[–] S_204@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago

Real estate people too. If you're not a VP in real estate, you don't really exist. I've met guys with a VP title who are like 23 years old and not even done their mbas. It just makes everyone look stupid.

From my experience working as an IT freelancer in the industry (so I've worked in a number of places), they all do that in Finance.

"Then he gave his business card. I looked at the subtle off- white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even had a watermark. He then excused himself to return some video tapes."

Just a common pleb. Couldn't get a reservation at Dorsia's to save his life.

Gold Man Sacks? Nice! How much are gilded testicles?

Gol D. Man Sacks: you know what they're calling me these days?

One of the great temples of capitalism, where money is sucked from everywhere to enrich 3 old fuckers who really should've died of old age 30 years ago

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 35 points 4 months ago

One of the banks involved in the financial meltdown of 2008.

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

The Grand Temple of Mammon.
