they are for all intents and purposes the same person but strongly believe they're better than their clones, and this belief is central to their personalities and egos
very, very common in finance/banking, you work at the same place for 3-4 years and you'll get a VP title unless you're just a complete frickup. it has absolutely no weight, just sounds fancy
think of it like this:
if the company was a government, the CEO is the "president" of the company
if a company has a "president," then he's basically the "vice president" in this analogy; but not every company has a president
the COO is usually third in command
then the CFO
then it's different in every company

is correct, but at mine there's actually a Grand Chairman whose the real boss and never had to interact with anyone in any way and is basically on permanent sabbatical unless he calls up the CEO to b***h about something
This, it was a trick the big investment banks did. Clients felt more important when speaking to a "Vice President". Goldman Sachs, for example, has like 10,000 "VPs"
They all do that. Its so when a client calls up they get connected to one of the vice presidents. Makes the client feels special, like their money and interests are being handled at the top level. They get whatever needs done and walk away feeling secure. In reality you talked to one of many "presidents" at the company who are usually just reassuring people with every call and keeping their account at that particular firm
No, the average person has no idea how this shit works. Even people who have more money than sense usually don't care as long as everything works. They have companies, firms and personal assistants handle that shit. They're busy out on a golf course or on an island somewhere
Just look at people who makes these threads, they have no idea until they're told what's happening
The same as today with "Key Account Managers".
It's so that important customers always talk to a "manager" whenever they call to give them the feeling that their matters are in the hands of the "higher ups". A company has thousands of "managers" where their jobs are actually just clerk positions. In our company those "managers" are not even leading figures with no workers beneath them.
Paul Allen objectively does have the best card though
Correct
My high school had four vice principals, one for each grade. Maybe that's what's happening there.
That's the joke
They all have the same phone number too
I'm sure that's just the main number. Jean has all the extensions.
This is why Patrick Bateman couldn't kill her btw. He knew they'd notice if the phones stopped working.
yeah, congrats you missed the point of this scene which was to show how they're identical in every way
>he's literally me
they are for all intents and purposes the same person but strongly believe they're better than their clones, and this belief is central to their personalities and egos
Except Paul Allen’s is clearly best
VP is nothing. There's a VP of marketing.
>There's a VP of marketing
Yeah, the guy you get when the President of marketing is unavailable.
>President of marketing
"Marketing" ain't no country I've ever heard of. They speak English in Marketing?
they do though
>mergers is spelled wrong
wtf

What do they call the people who should actually be titled as vice president/second in command?
There is no 2nd in command. The second place guy is a loser. He leaves the company if he's not picked.
What does #3 do?
monitors anonymous message boards
He gets promoted to #2 and promptly quits and thus the circle goes on forever
An more important-sounding Vice President position, like VP of Operations.

from my experience senior vice or something like [department] director

How about no?
Goes like this
Analyst -> Associate -> Vice President -> Executive Director -> Managing Director -> C-level

Acquisitions is misspelled in all 4 cards. Likely a production assistant was fired or blacklisted after that mistake.
>this homie proofreads Cinemaphile posts
lmao
It's a common fun fact about the movie, homosexual. Also, I know how to spell.
>Mergers and ACKuisitions
acquisitions spelt wrong
CHECK THESEE DIGITS

Its business bullshit
But if it's this obvious don't they know it's a trick?

Allen > Bryce > Van Patten > Bateman
At a large company each department will have a vice president and then residing over all the departments will be a Sr. Vice President.
If any of the job roles are particularly complex the roles may be split into Vice President and Jr. Vice President.
I'm pretty sure the director did that as a joke though because every douchebag at the time seemed to be a VP at such and such
Never noticed it but what is UP with Bateman's font? Not organized and off key. Very distasteful to the eyes.
The same as today with "Key Account Managers".

yeah thats the joke. they all have fake jobs and do nothing but spend money and obsess about status all day and seethe at each other
