Mid America Bank’s Post

True story one Monday afternoon. I walk into the bank branch close to my workplace to complete a transaction. Then one of the cashiers (we’ll call Angelo) says to me: Angelo: “Oforma, how are you not working here, Bro?” Oforma: You guy’s hiring? (I tease) Angelo: Totally, Bro. You dress like a banker you’ll nail it. You’ve got that vibe. Oforma: (I laugh) I don’t know, man. I worked for a bank before, but I don't think I want to sp-- Angelo: *Cuts me off* Listen, I’m sending you this link. Apply and you could even say I referred you. Angelo: Just think about it, Bro. How did a guy I met 3 weeks ago at the bank get so invested in me? It’s called conversation. Just engage. Start talking to people.

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother.” I'm thinking about and always praying for my Deutsche Bank WTC4 and 130 Liberty Information Security/Disaster Recovery/Business Contingency brothers and sisters, whether they're living or if they've passed on. My Deutsche Bank global team both core and kidnapped/shanghaied are foxhole buddies/family forever too. The recovery operations/service restoration rebuilding death march after 9/11 was an infinitely regrettable but also blessed opportunity to live and work with amazing people who sacrificed and whose loved ones also paid heavily to allow us to achieve miracles. Reviving the bank's operations and then rebuilding it to better face any future challenges seemed an impossible task, but all of you gave your all. You worked 2 shifts of 12 hour days for 6 or 7 days a week for months in tight quarters. That was the beginning of our team forging process in the US and Asia. It dropped to 90 hours a week for many for a couple years. Your families probably still curse my name. If I could take you all on another cruise to reconnect, I would. Given a choice, I would have personally paid to keep the team together for the past 20+ years or held more reunion activities.  Absent Companions! You will never be forgotten. #wtc #worldtradecenter #deutschebank #informationsecurity #disasterrecovery
