A random employee of a financial institution is not a "finance bro"
journalism is falling apart before our eyes but don’t worry i’m sure some prominent figures will SLAM each other along the way
edit: everyone saying that gizmodo isn’t journalism— that’s exactly my point. this article shouldn’t be given space on a “world news” community. hosting this is bad journalism.
But what the bank did next will shock you.
They may slap and spank each other too. Both of which I have seen in headlines recently.
Whelp, it's Gizmodo. Calling it "journalism" is a stretch.
Maybe be more specific in what you label “journalism”, because Gizmodo ain’t dat.
If my middle school history courses taught me anything, it's that journalism has always been garbage and biased.
Where did this "bro" thing come from anyway? I know it's a signal telling me to hate someone but what particular hivemind is spreading this?
“Pecuniary sibling”.
“CashKin”
Are they not?
No. And in this case it was probably an accountant or other operations worker in the company's treasury management department. Almost certainly not a finance bro.
I tough it'll be some crypto influencer or someone like that, not just guy who works in finance.
Then what's a finance bro if not that? Lol
Traders. M&A sharks. Crypto geeks. Balls out types.
Not a back office accounting drone.
