She was a vice president of business selection and conflicts at the bank. Not The vice president of the bank.
Before anyone gets too excited.
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.
was american psycho a documentary?
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.
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.
Seems to be a thing with american businesses in general. Everyone’s some VP of something
From what I've heard of this story, a woman who had a history of mental issues stabbed a random man getting out of the subway and then went and stabbed this woman. Her position at a bank is nothing more than attention grabbing headlines.
Just a heads up, if you look into this at all you'll probably come across the video of the stabber being shot and killed.
To add to this, she might have been just another cog. I don't know how BofA titles work, but I have known people with a VP title that had no one reporting to them and had no decision making authority.
It's an assumption going back decades, AFAIK, that someone with the title "vice president" in finance/banking doesn't mean jack squat.
She was a vice president of business selection and conflicts
She was a specialist in "conflicts" and she got conflict there in Times Square. Failed to resolve the conflict miserably.
Banks haven’t yet rolled out close quarter combat training for their executive tier
such a clickbait of a headline. might as well have just said "random middle manager killed in New York"
Oh no, was the knife damaged?
Hopefully it was a quality knife and is easily cleaned
Unless it only went through tissue, probably.
Friendly reminder to folks that you should always keep your knives sharp. It's safer to cut with a sharp knife so the edge doesn't slip.
vice president
Larger companies have hundreds to thousands of them. Nothing to get excited about.
yeah and some of them are tossed around like candy. seriously my last job people who would not even be a division had the title. it was like the easiest thing to get beyond middle management.
I think from now on I'm going to refer to it as the Bank of Ontario
In unrelated news, here's a painting to symbolize how an acerage American feels about Bank of America.

Well it couldn’t have been Luigi
VP in general is not a big thing... This is click bait.
yep, its a middle management role at banks, not executive. There are probably thousands of vp's at BofA.
BofA deez nuts
Hmm. Well, ICE was in New York recently, and given the preponderance of criminals they hire ...
Oh that’s good news, thank you for brightening our day 🌞💖
I mean, it's not bad, but it's not as good as I thought at first
Ohh noo. Anyway...
Vuce president = middle manager
The title has lost most meaning it used to have. This is just a random killing
Look, let's end the debate easy: if tomorrow morning, the GOP decides to take action to prevent and address mental illness, that means she was a big shot.
If it's the usual thought and prayers, she was a small fish.
September is looking good
