    Every time I feel overworked I think about how many additional employees my boss’s excessive salary could pay for.

      It’s really fun if you do non-finance work at a finance place.

      You’ve got the internal accountants trying to deny a request for $500 a year for a piece of business critical tech/software that you need to support the people who swing around half a mil in investments like it’s nothing.

      I really shouldn’t complain. I’m paid quite well for what I do and I have a shit ton of flexibility. But there’s a lot of times that the absurdity is so thick it could be cut with a knife.
