Can you share some extreme investment banker horror stories?

One horror story is about the insane working hours. Investment bankers often have to work 80 - 100 hours a week. A junior banker I knew was constantly sleep - deprived and made a major error in a report due to exhaustion. Another is the cut - throat competition. Colleagues backstabbing each other to get a promotion or a big deal. I heard of a case where one banker spread false rumors about a co - worker to steal a client. And then there are the demanding clients. There was an investment banker who had a client who changed requirements constantly at the last minute, causing huge stress and extra work.

Yes. Here is an investment horror story. A couple decided to invest their retirement funds in a real estate project that was being hyped up. They were promised luxurious condos and great returns. But the developer ran out of funds halfway through the project. The condos were never completed and their retirement funds were gone. Also, many have fallen victim to investing in cryptocurrency without really understanding it. They bought at a high price, and when the market crashed, they lost a significant amount of money.

There was a case where a deal went horribly wrong. The investment bank had misjudged the market conditions for a big IPO. They priced it too high. As a result, the shares tanked on the first day of trading. The bank faced huge losses and a damaged reputation. Their clients were furious, and the bankers involved were under intense scrutiny and pressure.

Sure. There was a case where a person hoarded cats. They had dozens of cats in a small house. The smell was unbearable, and there was cat feces everywhere. It was an extremely unhygienic situation. Another extreme story was about a hoarder of old electronics. His place was filled with broken TVs, radios, and computers. There were wires all over the place, and it was a major electrical safety risk.

There was a hostal where the food provided was completely inedible. It smelled bad and some guests even got sick after eating it. The kitchen was also very dirty with old food scraps everywhere. It was just a very unpleasant experience overall for the guests who had expected at least decent food during their stay.

Sure. There was a time when a child accidentally turned on the microwave with a small toy inside. The toy melted and released a really bad smell. It was a dangerous situation as the melted plastic could have released harmful fumes.

One extreme horror story is of a psoriasis patient who was misdiagnosed several times. They were given the wrong treatments which actually made their condition worse. They wasted a lot of time and money on these incorrect treatments. By the time they got the right diagnosis, their psoriasis had spread even more and was more difficult to treat. It was a very frustrating and scary experience for them as they felt like they were losing the battle against their own skin.

One extreme yelp horror story is about a nightclub. People were charged a high cover fee but once inside, the place was overcrowded and the air - conditioning wasn't working. There were also reports of fights breaking out and the security staff was nowhere to be seen. Another is about a catering service. For a big event, they provided food that was stale and some of it was even spoiled. Many guests got sick after eating. And they didn't refund any money when the client complained on Yelp. Also, there was a story about a tattoo parlor. The artist used unsterilized needles which led to an infection for the customer later on.

Well, there was an incident in a mall where a faulty escalator started moving in the wrong direction at a very high speed. People were falling over each other, bags and belongings were flying everywhere. Some got seriously injured. It was a nightmare situation for everyone in that part of the mall. There were cries for help and the mall staff took a while to stop the escalator.

One sad banker story could be about a banker who worked hard for years to build a good reputation. But during a financial crisis, his bank had to make massive layoffs. He was the one who had to break the news to his long - time colleagues, and it was heart - breaking for him as he saw their dreams shatter. He felt like a failure even though it was a situation out of his control.
