Another Day At A Medium-Sized International Bank II

Being called off the golf course half way round, when your partner is quite literally having the round of her life, to gather the troops (all of whom were doing equally enjoyable things) and hot-tail it into the office late in the day on a bank holiday in order to conduct a critically important transaction on a New York Friday afternoon, only to find out that nobody of sufficient seniority (board level) can be contacted in order to grant approval to proceed, thereby wasting 4 hours of everybody's life... is just one thing that I won't miss about banking.

Incidentally, the orga-charts that were due out 5 weeks ago have still failed to materialise, meaning that reporting and communication lines remain arbitrary at best.

UDH Boy informed us that last week he had unexpectedly come across an orca-chart, but since we have no immediate use for a killer whale this wasn't especially helpful.
