You can Bank on it

One thing I do love about The Bank is the Volunteer Leave. That’s right, you get to take one day a year out of work to volunteer for an approved charity and get paid for it! OK, so it’s hardly the point to get a paid day for doing something ahem, altruistic, but it’s a great initiative.

So I’m gonna work at The Smith Family wrapping chrissie presents on the 17th December with some guys from work I don’t know. Yet.

Does it sound like I’m becoming a Company (wo)Man??? I’m not. I sure as hell am not. I went to a presentation the other day where we were told about all the sweet products The Bank has and the direction The Bank is taking and how so much better Our Bank is than all the Other Banks. We even had to boo when a logo for any of the Other Banks came up on the screen. I think that bit was meant to be tongue in cheek. It felt like I’d showed up for a cult brainwashing, nevertheless.

All Banks are the same. A Bank is a Bank. They will never be cool. They will always do what’s right for them, and not the customer. I am officially working for the Devil’s Syndicate.

But you better believe that Real Estate Agents stop hassling to take out their dodgy mortgage-schemes when they find out you work for a Bank…
