Well it couldn’t have been Luigi
VP in general is not a big thing… This is click bait.
yep, its a middle management role at banks, not executive. There are probably thousands of vp’s at BofA.
Look, let’s end the debate easy: if tomorrow morning, the GOP decides to take action to prevent and address mental illness, that means she was a big shot.
If it’s the usual thought and prayers, she was a small fish.
Next time aim higher. In the org chart.
I think from now on I’m going to refer to it as the Bank of Ontario
Must need more cameras around to prevent this crime
Oh no, was the knife damaged?
Hopefully it was a quality knife and is easily cleaned
Good call, we might wanna start a goFundMe for the knife.
Unless it only went through tissue, probably.
Friendly reminder to folks that you should always keep your knives sharp. It’s safer to cut with a sharp knife so the edge doesn’t slip.
Hurts a lot more with a dull, jagged edge tho.
In unrelated news, here’s a painting to symbolize how an acerage American feels about Bank of America.

such a clickbait of a headline. might as well have just said “random middle manager killed in New York”
She was a vice president of business selection and conflicts at the bank. Not The vice president of the bank.
Before anyone gets too excited.
It’s important to remember that banks hand out vice president titles like business cards. It makes the vice president feel important and gives customers someone with a splashy title to yell at.
Seems to be a thing with american businesses in general. Everyone’s some VP of something
It was literally done because certain tasks were required by regulations to be approved by a vice president, so banks just handed out the VP title to everyone and their brother.
Also banks give titles without pay raises.
Lol I was literally today just dealing with a bank integration at work and noticed the tech support guy I was working with was a VP. Your comment was perfectly timed for me, because I was like "wtf why is the guy talking to me about PGP keys a freaking Vice President?!”
was american psycho a documentary?
Yes
The book mentions donnie multiple times, and yes.
Idiocracy was too
Yep, came here to say this, and can confirm. Having the title “vice president” in finance / banking means just about sweet fuck-all.
This is soothing to look at. I need the original hanging in my place.
From what I’ve heard of this story, a woman who had a history of mental issues stabbed a random man getting out of the subway and then went and stabbed this woman. Her position at a bank is nothing more than attention grabbing headlines.
Just a heads up, if you look into this at all you’ll probably come across the video of the stabber being shot and killed.
Saw it. Felt like this was suicide by cop.
To add to this, she might have been just another cog. I don’t know how BofA titles work, but I have known people with a VP title that had no one reporting to them and had no decision making authority.
It’s an assumption going back decades, AFAIK, that someone with the title “vice president” in finance/banking doesn’t mean jack squat.
She was a vice president of business selection and conflicts
She was a specialist in “conflicts” and she got conflict there in Times Square. Failed to resolve the conflict miserably.
Banks haven’t yet rolled out close quarter combat training for their executive tier
“your fruit killing skills are remarkable”
What if someone charges at you with a banana?
or a pointed stick
That would be pretty bananas…

I’m always excited for brutal stabbings
From what I was able to discern, the CEO of UHC was really just a nepo frat boy selected by the board. He had no special skill or talent, other than looking like another white man in a suit and selecting multiple choice answers about what to do in the company.
Straight from Central Casting, if you will.
What exactly do you think the CEOs of large corps do? Make sound decisions based on their experience in the trenches of their industry? Ha! Their entire role is to be a frat boy, party (aka “network”) with other CEOs, allow the board/private equity to make dumbass decisions that’ll tank the company, then take the fall when those decisions inevitably lead to problems. Nepo baby is a legit resume booster because it means you were born with more connections than most people will ever have.
I’ve worked with a lot of CEOs and while a lot of them are as you describe, many of them are smart and have a good handle on what their company does. And too many of them are afflicted with varying degrees of sociopathy.
Worked with CEOs of what size companies? Small business CEOs definitely need to know their shit and put in the work. Enterprise CEOs need to look good in press conferences and have books full of billionaires.
Isn’t that how it works though? You have the president, and then multiple vice presidents with their own responsibilities? Vice president of lending, vice president of marketing, etc?
Most just in the US. When I worked at an American company, even some tech support folks were given Vice President titles because it apparently makes customers happy to be talking to a VP.
30% of Goldman Sachs employees have a Vice President title
Yes, but banks go the extreme and hand out the title like candy. It’s way easier to become a VP at a bank than other companies.
Do banks even give out candy anymore? It’s a sad day when the only Dum-Dums at the company are wearing suits.
My credit union has free ice cream bars during the summer and a hot cocoa machine during the winter.
Haven’t seen a corporate bank with so much as a bowl of suckers for years.
I’m pretty sure at BofA, it’s not that high level
A manager manages a small team, a director manages several managers, and then a vice president manages directors. They usually have ~100 people under them, but it can vary widely
September is looking good
Ohh noo. Anyway…
❤
vice president
Larger companies have hundreds to thousands of them. Nothing to get excited about.
yeah and some of them are tossed around like candy. seriously my last job people who would not even be a division had the title. it was like the easiest thing to get beyond middle management.
I mean, it’s not bad, but it’s not as good as I thought at first
