The Occupy Bay St movement which is a copycat of Occupy Wall St has been written about in all the newspapers - one article in the Globe had a quote which reads,
Mark Schatzker of the Globe and Mail wrote an article titled
Occupy Toronto: The one-week anniversary.
Inside the piece Mark wrote, “
It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already. And then when it's time to go, they're still there. I guess that's why they call them the one per cent. I mean, who wants to work those kinds of hours? That's the power of greed.”
Mark Goodfield author of The Blunt Bean Counter
Investment Bankers are From Uranus writes, '
As someone who has dealt with several investment bankers over the years, I almost fell on the floor laughing. This quote, although a figment of Mark's fertile imagination, actually encapsulates the polar opposite views on money and work-life balance the bankers and protesters have.'?
But does it ? It was a satirical quote. Do you think investment bakers work harder than say... construction workers? or farmers? or social workers? I wonder
