Why'd this guy get the job if he didn't have the brains?

>>213714989 (OP)
Margin status?

>>213714989 (OP)
White privilege, of course.

>>213715008
CALLED

>>213714989 (OP)
Jobs are decided by raffles, aesthetics and DEI status these days.

Jewish nepo baby

went to the best music school in town thanks to parents

>>213714989 (OP)
he did have the brains, he was being facetious

He doesn't have brains in the sense that engineers or scientists might. He doesn't need to know the specifics, his job is too see through the bullshit and figure our what the bottom line is. You get that from being cunning.

He has the mullet

>>213714989 (OP)
Because his teeth and ambitions were bared.

>>213714989 (OP)
He didn't get the job because he was smart, he got it because he's good at anticipating how things would turn out... and right now... I don't hear anything...

>>213715008
it's just money

He literally explains it in the same scene.

because he brings the smoke

>>213714989 (OP)
you've got some bad news coming when you get to the real world

>>213714989 (OP)
he's got the looks, back at his home office is a guy with the brains. That's how they made lots of money.

>>213714989 (OP)
Mostly by fucking over a lot of people.

He played the orchestra

>>213718311
But he wasn't good at figuring out things would turn out. As evidence by the fact he was completely blindsided by the market crash that his analyst found just a few hours early.

His twin helped him climb the corporate ladder.

>>213719494
And he reacts to it the same night, and proceeds to save the firm as best he can, saving it from being burnt to the ground by burning it almost to the ground before that could happen.

The movie literally spells this all out. The percentages never change.

>>213714989 (OP)
What's the scene of Kevin Spacey burying the dog for?

I don't get it.

>>213719684

>>213719168
What did he mean by this?

>>213719494
Because that's not his job retard, that's his analysts job

>>213719684
>be piece of shit
>divorced
>estranged from his family
>just helped kick off the biggest financial correction in the history of capitalism in the shadiest way possible
>and now his cancer dog died
Pretty much just to rub in his misery.

>>213719810
But he got millions thoughever.

>>213714989 (OP)
Hardest lesson you learn early on in life is that nobody has a job because of 'merit' or 'intelligence'. It's literally just connections and how much arse you kiss.

>>213718311
He got the job because of his nose

Even in a merit based system you run into problems. If you have someone who is a high performer and they naturally get promoted they may be moving into a position they are not suited to. Now you've got a hole where your talent was, and a mediocre supervisor, or middle manager.
And if they are good at the new job then its the same problem as before, but now a step higher.
In that system you just keep promoting people until they suck at their job and you stop promoting them.

How is the weather like in Delhi pajeet?

>>213721077
Anon, you sound like the guys here who used to claim George Carlin was Jewish. There is nothing out there I could find on Irons being Jewish.

>>213721077
are you kidding

>>213722708
Don't call me Shirley

>>213719880
not for bosses: they thrive on "being in control", enforcing hierarchy and bossing around
talk louder with confidence at someone and they'll probably shrivel and obey - most people are made to be bossed around

>>213714989 (OP)
he got the job because he doesn't care if he has to be a ruthless vampire. if the company dies or his reputation dies the company will live on.

>>213715008
TIME FOR A FIRE SALE
SELL IT ALL
>BUT AT WHAT FUCKING COST

>>213717009
I know a guy who used to work at CBOT
He says everyone who got in knew each other, sometimes friends, sometimes relatives
we all smoked da crack either way

>>213714989 (OP)
The same reasons I have my job, money and connections. No amount of studying will get you these things, if you ain't in the club you ain't getting in.

>>213714989 (OP)
If you can predict what the market will be doing in a year from now you have to be pretty smart.
