But look at Bank of America[0]. 4x that meager $22B of WFC. Or Chase[1], which is only slightly worse than WFC. BK and USB are almost poster childs with only ~1B of penalties each[2][3]. [0] https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst

Absolutely. Or to put it another way, loving your job is great, but being jealously, madly in love should be avoided. I've sometimes wondered if there should be term limits on most jobs? E.g. no more than 8 years in any one company, an
