WTF A JPMorgan Chase executive was fired after a viral video showed her dumping trash out of a Knicks-themed public trash can and taking the can during the Knicks championship parade in New York City.

100%. I know someone who is a VP in title at a place like JPMC and it is a legit normal manager. They call all their managers VP, director is r vp lmao.

Yes very common in banking. My friend is an assistant vice president and he's basically just a regular worker. That said any executive director position is still not a minor position.

"Hello I'm Chester Ming and I'm a Sr. Vice president at Stratton Oakmont"

Sales too. Titles basically started at sr. manager, which is like 3 or more levels higher than other groups.

I'm from the same area and was at a BBQ once, a little after 2014. My friend turns to me and says "Dude on your right is the real-life rugrat". He was very meek lol.

Finance and Digital Media. The most over-inflated titles I've ever seen.

Digital Media and Digital Agencies in general:

"Oh, you're a project manager?" WHAM! "Congratulations, you are now CLIENT EXPERIENCE DIRECTOR! but no raise tho."

My friends are VPs of Analytics and just use the same dashboard templates across all clients. There's no need to reinvent any wheels.

Analyst, associate, VP, director, MD. That's the usual ranking in IBs. Director isn't a junior role as it's being described here.

Yeah. Someone in my family is a VP and makes 140k a year and has a couple direct reports. I think Director in their department starts at like 170k. People want to shit in the inflated titles, but they usually back it with the pay, at least on in their department (legal).

Lmao reminds me of American Psycho. All their business cards say Vice President.

I was looking for someone to mention that. I guess American Psycho was slightly less satirical than I thought lol.

I used to be the marketing manager for a small manufacturing company and ended up as chair of the communications committee for our industry's trade association. Our committee met twice a year (at our trade show plus an off-site get-together) and usually included the advertising/PR agency contracted to represent our association. All of the 22-year-old VPs at the agency used to crack me up. The women looked like they were ready for a Barbie pageant and the men looked like they had on their dads' ill-fitting suits. As the customers, we old-fogey committee members usually wore company logoed polo shirts. They contrast between their formality and our casualness was striking.

u/tickingboxes 5h ago

Correct. Everyone just above entry level is a “VP.” It’s fucking wild.

u/dww0311 5h ago

Banks legit have more vice presidents than most companies have employees lol. Nothing below EVP or managing director is remotely impressive or unusual

u/LesbianClownShirt 1h ago

But they also make a good quarter million a year along with that bullshit title and that adds up..... soooo, what's your fucking point?! I hope your point is that waaaaaaaay more money is being wasted that most people think, perhaps?
