What is it like to work for BAC?

What is it like to work for BAC? That's an easy one.

Your first day on the job, your manager will gently slice off your balls with a very sharp ceramic knife, the same kind of knife used in sushi restaurants, lock them up in a small transparent box, and place the box on the corner of his or her desk.

Then, every time you walk into their office to discuss anything, you can see your balls, but you can't touch them, have them, or use them. Twice (or once) a year, right before final performance review, your supervisor will unlock the box, take out your balls, and let you feel them.

This will be just to remind you of who you once were, and with the promise that if next year's performance is good enough, you may be able to borrow your balls now and then.

However, you will not get them back, even if you stay with the company until retirement. No, throughout your career, your balls will be handed off from supervisor to supervisor, until you call the 800-TALK2HR phone number on the morning of your first day of retirement.

That's when you will discover that the nice lady in Mumbai speaking broken English on the other end of the call has your balls. You will, of course, ask to have them back, but she will inform you that you cannot have them all at once.

You see, if you had bothered to read the fine print among the 1,500 pages of new hire documentation all those years ago, you would have known that your balls will be given back to you bit by bit over a 30 year period. If you die before then, your bits of balls will continue to be given to your spouse, of course.

And so, your spouse will then bury or cremate the rest of you, but will at least have a steady stream of tiny pieces of your balls to remember you by. Welcome to BAC!

@GjspDLO-ftc -if you didn't get this, then you must work from home. It is a reference to Tata and Infosys. Americans are a rarity in many work places. Not disparaging any minorities.. it is the corporations we are talking about.

You will see egos around you. And if your manager has an ego, you will see his ego surrounded by other egos and thinking they are so cool. You will see no substance. you will attend meaningless meetings and will use some buzzwords. You will see multi-million dollar initiatives being kicked off and weeks later being tossed into the garbage.

You will see egos promoted. You will see hard working, skilled and humble people being kicked to the ground and held steady in their positions while everyone else who speaks cool and acts cool is being promoted. More initiatives tossed into the garbage. Your salary increase will barely meet inflation, and that is, if you have one.

Ha! If it wasn't so sad it would be quite funny. I'm amazed anyone even makes it to retirement anymore. Kudos for that at least! (Sorry about your balls though)

If you ever do get them back, they smell like curry and have a horrible mid western accent. Balls Ala Curry.
