Bankers

Sat at Brewerkz enjoying a few pints of American Pale Ale. There are some bankers on the table next to me (British and American). The topic of of their conversation ranged from skiing in Japan to beach condos in Vietnam via the new apartment one them has moved to in Singapore (near Clementi).

Just as they were about to leave they got on to the topic of their annual bonus. Talk about bitter. Apparently despite both of them having 'stellar years' they are expecting to receive smaller bonuses. Lots of sniping about colleagues and the unfairness of everything! I think one works at Morgan Stanley and the other possibly at JP Morgan.

Quite amusing and so far removed from the 'real' world to be almost satire.
