Sometimes I casually flash my B-Unit around or pretend to check the time on it just to let everyone know I have a subscription.
Other times I will go out of my way to send emails from the terminal just so others get a glance at my @bloomberg.net email address. I also have people send me stuff to the email if it's someone I haven't met before.
The Bloomberg Terminal is well worth it for these two perks. It's much better than paying for an @hey.com email address.
- dkdbejwi383 6y agoI honestly can't tell if this is a parody or not
- nindalf 6y agoIf it isn’t a copypasta, it should be.
- purerandomness 6y agoThat's the best type of parody
- 7800 6y agoNot to the proud family whose surname is Parody. Also those representing parity overheard you and may have a bit to talk with you about.
- dan-robertson 6y agoParody. If you have a Bloomberg terminal then probably many of the people you interact with at work also have Bloomberg subscriptions. Imagine some tech worker in Silicon Valley trying to flex some employer-provided top-of-the-range MacBook. The price isn’t the same but the idea that it won’t impress the in-group is.

- cwwc 6y agoHey，I've seen people flex their Palantir seat licenses!
- est31 6y agoMaybe it's like teamblind? IIRC you need to sign up to them using your work e mail. And it's authwalled so can't really be read without an account.

- pvitz 6y agoDon't forget the included subscription to Bloomberg Businessweek that we religiously "read" with the feet on the 10 cm of our desk that are not covered with terminal screens.
- SubiculumCode 6y agoI absolutely detest this comment and all it implies. I'll accept my downvotes now. Unless I missed sarcasm, in which case, please accept my humblest apologies.
