my boss said he doesn't personally post here but some others might. and my boss thinks it's cool that I'm a leftist, he's one too, apparently, and that a bunch of our coworkers are leftists. some of them might post here?? it's a finance firm -- the last place I'd expect this. how the fuck do they have a positive opinion of this place??

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU POST HERE AND WHAT YOUR @ IS. THIS IS SO UNFAIR LEAVING ME ON THE HOOK LIKE THIS. DON'T MAKE ME POST PPB TO THE WORK SLACK AND SEE WHO LAUGHS.

(I use tree style tabs so they can read my tabs when I share my screen -- I didn't hide this place because who the fuck has heard of hexbear)

    Eh, you'd be surprised. I know a few leftists working in fintech, it pays damn good and the marginal evil-utility of arbitrage or something is pretty low compared to the kind of shit they'd be enabling at FAANG.

      It doesn't surprise me, actually. I think people working in finance would know better than anyone else just how bullshit the whole system is.

        I was a Ron Paul loving, fed-obsessed teenager. Reading a ton about economics and finance is what got me here, plus the post-Trump vibe check
