    Founded in 1692, it is the eighth oldest bank in the world. Today, Coutts forms part of NatWest Group's wealth management division.

    Like other people have said, the absolute lack of self awareness and ghoulism to write something like this is dumbfounding.

          I wonder what they think work even is. Like I get the sense that they consider "work" literally just a mindset and has nothing at all to do with actually doing a job

            Many of them think that work means "making an effort at a task" and not "if you don't sell your labour you will die."

            Sure, some of them labour for long hours when the mood takes them. But they'll never have to work if the mood doesn't take them.

            Want to take the week off? Fine. Boss doesn't like it? Call Dad and have him explain to boss what will happen to his credit cards. Fired anyway? No problem, 6 months in the alps and then a similar gig at the next company.
