-Got a job working in business banking telephony
-Currently trained on every sector, meanwhile there are people here for years and not trained on everything
-Good relationship with my manager
-Earlier this week, my manager let me cover her role for a few hours (Manager's role is to help people in the office with complex queries and to authorise certain things)
-I was basically in charge of the office for a bit. My manager has arranged for me to have me to do the same next week.

It's pretty much unheard of for a colleague who's only been working for 6 months to be signed off to have authority in a financial institution. Most managers or people signed off for referrals have been here for years and are "accredited". A lot of our clients have millions in the bank.

One of the girl's refused my assistance though and said wanted to speak to a manager. I basically started at the same time as her. My manager was about to give her feedback for this as I was "in charge" and she refused my help. But I told my manager to let it slide.

Sounds like a low wage position

Yeah but do you have fat Johnson yet?

Who gives af about doing well at a job? Are you 16?

Good attitude and good motivation. Keep it up and go places. Those who rise to the top, it's not that much about having special skills or tallents bu a lot of it is about those who are willing to step it up. Just don't fuk up and you'll be good. A lot of people just do a job well enough and then they don't care to do anything else such as those you mentioned being in the game 10 years.

Anyone reading this, don't assume that because someone has been there a long time and is great at their job but never moved up meaning you'll never move up. That's not what it's about.

Those whose pay is directly correlated to it

You get paid the same as the person doing a chit job though, and the company wouldnt think twice about firing you in a heartbeat. You're just a number

Did you dick down any coworker sloots yet with that fat 7,6" by 5,8" johnson yet brah?

Yikes. This thread was terrible

Stick to the penis/escort threads because this is not your forte

Making yourself more useful than the next idiot will make you more of a valued employee though.

I've been building my connections, have a wealth of knowledge already, saved a big corporate complaint the other week and have been trialling some managerial duties.

Give it 6 more months, when I've built my connections and I learn the system inside out, I will still be a "number", but I will be the go-to oracle/problem fixer within my department. That is invaluable.

But you'll still be a wagie, when instead of putting all that effort into that you could have done something to get you out of the matrix and be self sufficient

My best friend's salary working in corporate banking is 175k. I'm way below that I admit, but I reckon I could get there soon. I'm in the same industry as him but yet to make my way up. If anything, I'm smarter and more talented than he is, but he's been in the industry like 4 years more than me

Agreed serious. When you work for a multinational bank, and you're a workaholic with something to prove and you read 48 laws of power, the sky is the limit srs.

Final bump for more opinions

Sounds like your doing a good job OP. Hopefully you climb up the corporate ladder.

They probably gave you the responsibility because they saw you taking initiative, good on you op! Work hard and mogg them bankers at AIG

I'm sure you are glad most of your taxes you pay to the Government from the job you mog, goes to paying for illegals to sit at home and watch reruns of Jerry Springer on TV...

No getting around it. Do you suggest he join the welfare party?
