What the fuck was his job even supposed to be? All he does is have lunch with other people and buy stuff
>>219389854Some sort of finance job. He'd be answering emails and making spreadsheets and charts nowadays.
>>219389854Investment banker, a slave to corpos.
How did Allen get the Fisher's account? Doesn't Bateman says his father owns the company or something, he should have helped his son out.
he was in mergers and acquisitions with gorbachev
>>219389854>All he does is have lunch with other people and buy stuffYes, that's what Wall Street investors do, they're trust fund kids who own things and watch their numbers go up. The only thing unrealistic about the movie is that in real life Bateman would be jewish.
He's a marketings manager

>>219389854Murders and Executions, he says it in the film
>>219389854He’s literally just there to be a trust fund kid and use his connections with other old money families to make number go up. And it works. Basically what Bert Cooper tells Don in Mad Men when he tries to get Pete Campbell fired.
>>219389854When you're high enough on the ladder you don't really do anything anymore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdtdfxV_fgc
sounds like the typical finance and tech industry jobs
>>219389854He has a cushy nepo job where he doesn't really have to do anything all day It's explained better in the novel
>>219393432Spoken like a true poor
im extremely jealous of these types of jobs that are apparently very prevalent in all white collar industries and corporate america. like the higher up you go, the less you have to do and the more money you make, which is very confusing to me why companies would allow for this. i would love to be one of those people but unfortunately i dont have any ambition or skills or anything that a company would value to get me to a fake do nothing position like that.
>>219396427theyre fake, Brett Eason Ellis invented them for story purposes
>>219389854The genesis of American Psycho is that Ellis was shadowing Wall Street yuppies to see how they worked and discovered that they spent most of their time just partying and dining, and so absent mindedly that he thought one of them could commit murder in plain sight and not be noticed.
funny Detail I noticed is how he shakes way too much salt on his steak from fear in the final interview with Kimball
>>219389854awful adaptation, if you can please just read the book and let that be your single knowing and encounter
>>219399226why not enjoy both?
he was a vice president. and if you look at the other guys’ cards they’re also vice presidents. apparently that’s how it worked in that industry
>>219389854He has sinecure. No real job.
>All he does is have lunch with other people and buy stuffLiterally every managerial position in any corpo. I've seen good workers go to waste after they've been promoted to managerial position. It starts with like 3 days of nonsense 2 days of real work, until eventually it's 5 days of nonsense. The worst part? Since they stop working they slowly lose their skills on how to actually work. Especially in IT where everything keeps changing all the time. However, Patric Bateman was a nepo baby who was given a sinecure by his dad who owns the company.
>>219389854>>219393432I wonder about those people hobbies instead of their job. Think about it, there's not much to do back then, you go partying maybe, but party isnt a hobby, socializing in general is not a hobby, maybe some of them are painting stuff or read some books, thats a hobby for sure, but it seems so boring in the late 90s and early 2000s if youre an investment banker finance wall street guy
>>219402905nice, lets see my dubs
>>219403147probably going onto chat rooms and scrolling myspace for skirt
>>219403071>promote a productive guy to the nonsense position, output goes down>promote a useless guy to the nonsense position, he makes useless decisions and the productive guys feel cheatedit's a lose-lose situation
>>219402711nta, but there's very little to enjoy in the movieBale's Tom Cruise impressions are interesting I guess
>>219389854>TFW no high-paid do-nothing 'job'.Seems that all jobs in the West are pure autist-repellent now, hence I am trapped as a perma-NEET.
