Why do all the jerkoffs that work in "finance" wear vests

[Dummy Gaynuts]

Midsection a little cold there, pal? Maybe try a coat or jacket.

I was always a little jealous. Could never pull it off myself.

Is that what he meant? I assumed a 3 piece suit with a waistcoat. I never saw anyone under the age of 50 in a 3 piece, apart from the occasional pretentious back office clerk trying to look distinguished. No one wears ties and one of the most successful traders I knew wore shorts or sweats at his desk, but had a suit in his gym locker in case he needed to meet clients.

Those thermal fleece things?

Those thermal fleece things?

Yeah i think so. A humble sweater is more functional and looks way better

Those guys in the picture are dorks. 2/1 they're analysts

 

[Ants Hard Drive of Horror]

I never heard of this until I saw the picture, then immediately thought they look like every finance guy I know.

These guys suck, I worked IT at a clearing house. They are just gambling/insider trading/fraud.

There’s no skill to it, they aren’t smart, they’re degenerates and the system is rigged to protect how they operate, which is banks stealing from the tax base and doing whatever they want and getting bailed out when it goes wrong.

Any finance bro with a “system” or whatever is either scamming you or is delusional.

Buncha fucking faggots

Yes, the fleece vests were/are extremely common to the point it became a meme:

The real reason why techies and bankers love vests

In an office, they can function as more than just an accent piece, says Joseph Rosenfeld, whose clients include finance executives. Here are six to consider.

Companies used (I'm assuming this type of thing has been reduced in current climate) to give patagonia vests with the logo out at off-sites.

You used to be able to invest a million dollars into bonds and get back 50k a year and retire and live on it in like 2000. Now you need to invest like 50 million to do that.

That’s a GOOD thing because (((they))) say so. If you don’t think it’s a good thing you’re a racist or a work shy zoomer.

The graphs that show income to house prices/rent where income stays stagnant and prices sky rocket without ceasing is a GOOD thing, boomers had to WALK TO SCHOOL! And drink from the HOSE! I’m sorry you’re too stupid to understand why it’s YOUR FAULT!

Yeah, you’re right, I didn’t explain it but I meant 50k in 2000 dollars which was basically a comfortable annual salary, 37k today is burger flipping poverty

They give you it in the swag bag you get when you join the company. No idea why it's always vests though.
