Anyone else a banker in here?

I worked six miserable years in retail banking, the pay was abysmal. I was a vault supervisor for 5/3rd Bank, responsible for a 750k vault and an 80k ATM, and I was getting paid like $14 an hour, this was about ten years ago.
 
What do you actually do every day as a banker?

A lot of it is definitely busy work. Cold calling people trying to sell them crap like credit cards and home equity loans, filling out forms so management can say "look at this to get better metrics", opening and closing accounts throughout the day, emailing other metrics to other departments (shouldn't this be automated by now?), all while still doing the teller work of regular transactions. it's not manually intensive, but the work can definitely get overwhelming especially because we've been understaffed going on 10 months now, but higher ups are still asses about "why couldn't you do your calling time today".

And I'm like "because there were 50 people in line."

But hey, i've had worse jobs and pay, and i'm trying to transition into cybersecurity within the bank, so i can stop pushing sales shit i hate doing. hopefully it pays off.
 
I'm a... *adjusts glasses* banker.... too, OP.

Let's get to know each other. Can you tell me the name of your first pet, or perhaps the name of the street you grew up on?

How about your closest relative's name and any nicknames you had as a child?

Just 2 banker friends shootin' the breeze.

Many moons ago in my twenties I was a bartender. One night early in the evening two dudes show up wasted. One comes behind my bar and starts to unbuckle his pants to take a piss right there. I'm like 'what the fuck are you doing?! You can't piss here!' And the guy says to me 'but I'm a banker.'

'Bouncer!' Get the fuck outta here ya bum!
 
I quit my job at a bank in Dec but spent 3 years in the fraud department. The job itself wasn't that bad, but I absolutely hated that I had to deal directly with the public. I worked at another bank back in 2007-2009 in telecom expense management. I loved that job as I dealt with internal employees rather than the general public, but I was only a contractor for that gig, and was among the layoffs during the cutbacks caused by the financial crisis.
