Bank managers used to be very well paid and respected on par with doctors and lawyers and now are just clerks

clerics

Unsure if intended? You probably meant clerks

But then again clerics also works since they probably do worship capitalism as if it were a religion

By bank manager, do you mean like the manager of a specific location? Or do you mean higher up than that?

Like the manager of a bank location, the physical building and its operations. Mostly because before credit scores they were the final word on all credit offers through the bank so it was a much more relationship driven process

The Branch Manager (of the bank) used to be very respected within the community at large.
