The job would far more likely have been taken by someone with experience in the field or by someone younger and more attractive. Sorry. That's the market. No employer wants to know what you got up to with your mom when you were a kid. You screwed up, but the public at large is footing the bill. That's why we hate you. Individuals were responsible as well yes. But the largest proportion of the blame goes to you. Yet we are the ones taking most of the punishment. Goes against every civilized value doesn't it? Bankers are custodians of money and there job is to stimulate trade and support industry. Not to gamble and get fat bonuses. You are administrators. Nothing more. Your rewards far exceeded your importance to society. Anyone could be trained easily to do your job. You got arrogant, took far too many risks. Tell your friends to at grow up and learn some humility. Your job application was rejected for being far too anecdotal.

What else can you call people who screwed up the world economies because of their selfish greed. So next time you have to deal with one of these people tell your friends that you are off to meet a wanker. If enough of us do this it will catch on like wild fire and this overdue title will stick!

Dear Hal,

–”[...] carry some credit card debt. I would bet that hardly any of them understand that financial markets have allowed what are now considered BASIC RIGHTS to exist in modern society” (emphasis mine)

–C’mon, get real.

–Basic rights like promising credit at 9% “forever”, then jacking the card to 28% 6 months later, just because? Or doubling your interest rates because you made a payment a day late to an entirely different, unrelated, company?

–What makes real people angry is enduring the personal abuses that you people claim “aren’t personal”, simply because you did it a lot…

I wouldn't need to use your full name, obviously, or identify your former employer. It would take about 20 minutes, just me, no other crew. Please email me if you can do it. Thanks. -- Carolyn.
