This is classic. While a live video interview was being carried out on the Australian TV Channel 7News with Macquarie Bank’s Street headquarters to discuss some breaking news about interest rates an employee, described as being a mid-level client investment manager was browsing glamour images on his computer in the background.
At some point during the video a collegue presumably tells him they are filming behind him and he turns to see the camera whereupon his screen suddenly reverts to showing spreadsheets.
Maybe he was stitched up by a collegue but whatever the reasons, it is good to see the real world and how some bankers spend at least some of their time earning huge bonuses. The clip is below. Look to the middle on the left side of the screen and have a smile.
His employers say they are investigating and point out that they have a strict code on how their employees use IT resources.
It all goes to show that you should never let your guard down, especially when there are TV cameras around.
