Vice president in Citibank is like a manager of a small team, so she's not particularly senior.
Source: had a uni friend who became a "VP" about 3 years after graduating.

What are they vice presidents of exactly? Because the job title sounds misleading.
That's the point, to sound more important than your role really is. You don't even have to manage people, you can be at the bottom of the corporate hierarchy and still a VP only because you've got like 5 years of experience.
Also afaik you're most often not the VP of something, just VP. And there is no "president" role. These titles are ridiculous
Exactly, titles don't mean anything. If you run your own company, you can give anyone any designation. I am the 'president' of my company, but also 'chief collaborator', but sometimes 'head of global operations' (it's a joke, see because if you're the Head of global operations, you're really God lol). I'll let my team pick any title they like, some care more about titles than others.
They'll be like VPs of their individual work team, working under a senior manager who heads up their particular work area. So like one senior vp to 2-3 vps, who oversee 2 juniors each.
Yea these executives are basically glorified IT, they give advice to people on where to put their money, setting up the bank mobile app, etc.
it is happening?
no. :'(
At first I saw she was black and was oh no a lynching then I saw her job and was oh well anyways
Stochastic Lugism. Every single rich or ghoul death will make people ask "is this a class thing?" even if the answer is "no". But as long as the question is asked, it'll be part of the collective consciousness.
This sounds like a regular murder, not a Luigi incident. Like someone else mentioned, her position isn't that noteworthy, just a labor aristocrat. Also sounds like the attacker might've known her, so there may have been other reasons for the murder.
I agree, from the reporting it looks like just another "civilian murdered by somebody they know" which is much more likely than people think. But this wouldn't have even broken the news if not for the current zeitgeist, which is what I meant by "Stochastic Luigism".
Every boring death mildly connected to a hated corporation will get loads of attention, and even if in the end it's nothing worthy of note, it'll be a subject on people's minds. That the Standard chose to report in this clickbaity way to imply she was a relevant executive in the headline is a sign of the times.
Sure, but if the question "is this a class thing" can be asked it should be. Being technically correct but uninspiring, unconvincing, and mostly useless, is in large part why communism/socialism has no influence among the people in the west.
True, although in this case I seriously doubt it is a class thing because:
- The victim was a worker, plain and simple. Yes, better off than the average worker and probably closer to what people imagine as "the well-off middle class", but part of the working class nonetheless. If the attacker's motivations could really be considered a class thing, they were extremely stupid as they just killed a worker.
- Luigi is still in recent memory, so the framing of this article makes it look to me more like an attempt to bank on the victim's title sounding important, in order to get some views.
