I’m not sure where I stand in regards to these protestors. It is kind of surreal to me that they are essentially protesting my chosen profession (at least I think they are). I currently work at a large multinational financial conglomerate in the investment banking division and we have many offices in New York, there has even been a few internal emails of pictures taken of the crowd by the NYC office. On the one hand if they are protesting income inequality in the US than I’m fully behind them in every way, as I think that disparity has grown far too large. On the other hand I am kind of defensive, I personally don’t think what I do hurts anybody or takes food out of someone’s mouth. My collogues aren’t evil blood sucking capitalists who would step over their mothers grave in order to make a buck, believe it or not they are just honest hard working people.
