For those of you who don't believe in the "Wally Effect" - let me tell you a little story.
I've been working for about 2 years in temp/contract positions mostly as Controller/Director of Finance positions, and interviewed in Jan & Feb with a Pharma start-up. Shockingly, they offered me the job, and I was supposed to start today; but my contract position let me out early so I was able to start last Thursday. But since they didn't have a laptop or licenses for a couple of the systems, I spent those 2 days last week getting all my orientation crap done, meeting group leaders from Sales, Ops, Mfg, Gov't Affairs, and other bull shit. Talked a couple of times a day with the CFO; actually a great way to start work without having to get right into the grind.
I come in today, to a some emails from the CFO and CEO and we are changing banking.
They had opened a new Chase account on Saturday, because our primary banking relationship is with First Republic - luckily I thought that the full Wally Effect would sink the ship on what was supposed to be my last day. Now all we have to do is start finding a new lender, because they want to sever all ties ASAP; not what I thought I was jumping into....but at least they didn't decide to pay me for my 2 days and say see 'ya.
Depending on how this goes, keep your eyes on the stonk thread 😉
