Guido PalazzoGUEST
Well, at one point when you are a salesperson at Wells Fargo, when you look around and you struggle to achieve your quota, And your boss comes to you four times a day, yells at you in an open space office and humiliates you for not achieving your targets.

Guido PalazzoGUEST
And then you see all your colleagues easily achieving their targets, being promoted, getting their bonus, and you know they cheat.

Guido PalazzoGUEST
Then you start wondering, well, maybe that is the rule that counts here and I should just do what the others do to survive, right? It's not that these people became rich.

Guido PalazzoGUEST
A lot of Wells Fargo or in general bank salespeople in the US, they depend on food stamps from the government because they don't make enough money to survive.
