ParticipantHi, I got fired today from a large regional bank. I am now looking for work and I am willing to shovel shit for cash. I will not take any shit, but I am happy to shovel it.
I live in mid western VT.

ModeratorI was sorry to hear about your termination of employment this morning, I am glad to see that you have an opportunity to find a better job that will make you happy. Too bad you are so far away I would hire you in a heartbeat, plenty of vegetables still to bring into the root cellar, we even have a small amount of manure to shovel:) Best of luck and enjoy the extra time at home with the critters.

ModeratorI know you can run a Peavey. If you can run a chainsaw, we’ll put you to work on the landing…..
Sorry to hear about your termination. Makes you wonder, if they don’t want you, what the hell do they think they are going to get….
Good luck, Carl

you are right Lancek. I have been watching them get rid of the best people for years and wondering why I am still there. I am happy to now be one of the good ones they let go. Just a bit scary to not have anything lined up. I will find plenty of small jobs to do, as I don’t care if it is clean or dirty work. I won’t slaughter turkeys as someone suggested, but other than killing I am up for most things.
October 31, 2010 at 2:50 pm #62912ParticipantWell the way I feel is they want the people that will question there agenda out and the button pushers to stay there and not take them to task when they pull the funny stuff! I think that people like yourselfs should band togeather and start your own small bank with local investers like the old savings and loan that would loan to the local people and not have to bend to greedy investers ! I dont know if thats possable anymore but for our country to get back on track thats what needs to happen!

ParticipantMy sincere sympathy.
There is a lot of that crap going around. You are not alone. A good friend of mine was fired last year a few months short of vested retirement after 19 years with State Street Bank. He was told his release was one of many “painful changes necessary to keep the institution alive.”
The most obvious change was a multi-million dollar bonus for the CEO.
Keep your head up. That other door will open soon.

what about the ideas of Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank giving micro credits……isn’t that pretty much what lancek has in mind? At least Mr. Yunus got the nobel prize for that and his system should work in first world countries as well 😎
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grameen_BankOctober 31, 2010 at 8:19 pm #62913ParticipantYes charly Thats exactly what I am talking about! Useing your community to help itself we are trying to permote that idea here in the ozarks now!
October 31, 2010 at 10:17 pm #62917ParticipantInteresting article Charly.. its more than just the small loans tho.. you cant get paid unless it goes thru a bank.. you cant rent a house unless you have a bank account..direct debits the name of the game..if you pay a fone bill by cash it costs you more !!! and if a direct debit is due off and your $1 under in your account the SOB’s send you a letter telling you the bill wasnt paid… even though you have paid in for freakin years… then charge you £30 !!!!for a letter… Its all about control..
JohnNovember 1, 2010 at 1:12 am #62907ParticipantJac, you are so right. But, what happens when they screw up, say they have been overcharging you for over a year. You discover it, they fix the problem so you don’t get over charged, but they make you ask for a refund on the money you have over paid. True story. My boss did that to a big customer of his. He said it was the right thing to fix the overcharging, but he did not see the reason in returning the money and was hoping that the customer would not notice. All the while he would go on and on about how great of a christian he was and how I needed to find god. I tell you what if he is a christian then I am a virgin.

November 1, 2010 at 5:50 am #62918ParticipantIs it true that they send managers on training courses to know how to monitor your account then offer you the “overdraft” facility but keep upping the level till it gets to a point that they know you will never be out of over draft ?!. I heard that recently over here….
JohnNovember 1, 2010 at 1:15 pm #62914ParticipantYes jac I heard the same thing and experianced it too thats wyh I have gone to just a savings acc and cash only buisness! And jean thats what I was trying to explain that if you question what they do it makes you a target for expelsion!
