Oh, cool! You make saxophones?

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

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 2 years ago

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

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

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Most financial institutions do, even down to local banks.

[-] S_204@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years 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.

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

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

"You want my treasure? You can't have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now i need yours too."

[-] Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

You mean the Jewish purse manufacturer in France?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Jewy Vuitton?

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 2 years ago

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

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Recruitment agency for a lot of government positions. Sometimes called as Government Sachs.

Some kind of textile manufacturer?

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

They make boutique tote bags.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Should've said he worked at the Vampire Squid.
