WHY….In the lounge….
….do so called professional people have financially sensitive, even personally sensational, conversations in public lounges. I was in DXB this afternoon and couldn’t believe my ears. I’m now in the executive lounge of my LHR hotel and it’s happening again.
It’s excruciatingly embarrassing to witness.
😳 This is way more than over sharing.

And don't forget those that do laps of the lounge as they conduct their calls, so that as many people as possible are made aware of their importance.

I previously had to alert compliance at a financial institution I do not work for to alert them that I was now holding MNPI on a client of theirs due to this.

The last time I had someone speaking loudly while on a speaker phone, I asked a female acquaintance
to walk over to him and enunciate clearly " That will be $50 for a BJ and $100 for full service".
That speaker conversation ended very quickly.
