Oxy- and Regular Morons

The bank I work for is falling apart and management is still reluctant to acknowledge the fat lady is warming her throat. Their strategy is to avoid risk as opposed to managing it. It is understandable that the banking environment in Asia is quite different from ours but the bigwigs presume that the U.S. should follow their model. Psssh......unleash 1.3 billion people to capitalist forces and lenders can demand whatever collateral and conditions they want. But not here!

Nevertheless, they have big eyes for the U.S. operations because of how well China is performing as the RMB keeps a-rolling. And cuz they're kind of a big schizz-nizz yonder. But not here!

The GM, who I once respected, is no more than a punk who is so scared of HK that he doesn't have any balls to do anything other than bust chops. I figure his strategy is to push as many people in front of the bus before it's his turn. He talks all beaucoup shit about how the boat is sinking but he won't give us the tools to plug the holes. Frankly, it's like he hands out plastic knifes or wooden chopsticks and sends us off to a gunfight with our competitors. He is afraid to make simple business decisions and defers to HK, which requires a near full-blown write-up.

HK takes it sweet-ass time and asks ten thousand inane questions which then makes us look like fools, half-baked and impotent. I worry that my association with the bank is hindering my jobhunt because the word is out that the bank is a tease, a pump-faker, a charlatan or a MORON.

So I am a moron.
