I wanted to lighten the mood of all the CoronaVirus talk by talking about one of the 15 times Bank of America threatened to fire me. This story is 11 years old next week. I discuss how a random interaction with a stranger on a Thursday afternoon that took 15 seconds led to a terrifying 2 weeks where I thought I would lose my job. It all has to do with my big, chubby fingers. I am not kidding. Listen to how one of my insecurities almost made me job insecure.
This is sadly a true story.
Plus I talk about some ridiculous sh*t I saw on Twitter from a Wells Fargo PR spokesman, who basically sales pitched online banking off of CoronaVirus

Plus, I got a DM from an insider who is a banker at a BofA branch back east venting her frustrations because her manager just yelled at her for having a slow sales day in the midst of a Coronavirus mandated closure of a lot of schools/stores/etc. I discussed how she is forced to call people to invite them in, plus getting yelled at for not selling a credit card to a widow who was doing maintenance on her deceased husband's acocunt. Total BS, but we knew it was coming
