    It’s important to remember that banks hand out vice president titles like business cards. It makes the vice president feel important and gives customers someone with a splashy title to yell at.

      It was literally done because certain tasks were required by regulations to be approved by a vice president, so banks just handed out the VP title to everyone and their brother.

        Also banks give titles without pay raises.

        Only in finance. In other sectors, titles are less inflated.

      Lol I was literally today just dealing with a bank integration at work and noticed the tech support guy I was working with was a VP. Your comment was perfectly timed for me, because I was like "wtf why is the guy talking to me about PGP keys a freaking Vice President?!”

      Yep, came here to say this, and can confirm. Having the title “vice president” in finance / banking means just about sweet fuck-all.
