Usually the folks the public meets and deals with at the local Bank Office level are not even aware of the decision process methodology or the unique internal culture in which these usually young braniacs compete .
The same corporation but completely different cultures .  |
This just reinforces my opinion that the ethics of most investment bankers are only slightly above loan sharks and con artists.
