By Ellie Austin Close Ellie Austin and Andrés R. Martínez Nov. 16, 2020 10:01 pm ET If the first episode of “Industry” was all about introducing us to Pierpoint & Co.’s new graduate hires and their respective desks, the show’s second installment is where we get a taste of the bank’s company culture. It doesn’t look like the cheeriest place to work.
Kenny is determined to make Yasmin’s life hell Yasmin is trying hard to impress her brash, incredibly unlikeable boss on the Foreign Exchange desk. She arrives early in the morning to email him recaps of how the Asian markets performed while London was asleep and is meticulous about getting his high-maintenance lunch orders correct. But she can’t win.
The situation deteriorates at the mandatory pub dinner that senior management throws as a morale-boosting exercise for the graduates. After becoming verbally abusive, Kenny is sent home. Yasmin is understandably shaken. He’s particularly concerned that a hedge-fund manager called Felim Bichan has gone quiet. As Daria later explains to Harper, who has been tasked with tracking him down, Bichan and his company account for half of the business that the CPS desk brings in. In other words, he’s a big deal.
Each desk at the bank is judged by how much money it makes in fees and commission, so losing a client like Bichan to another part of the company would be a disaster for Eric.
Poor things. Smh
The show is headed for a TV Formulaic Flop?
Only thing realistic about this show is the big burrito that the analyst had at her desk during lunch.
