The Glow in the Dark IMF
At my job I have often taken groups of students to visit the International Monetary Fund, IMF, and World Bank buildings for speeches. The first thing I noticed was how surprised I was at how different the the institution's public relations teams were.
The P.R.people at the World Bank are intelligent, caring, proud, and often seem to be interested in improvng the World Bank. (They were willing to admit the that there might problems that could be fixed within the World Bank) Across the street at the IMF P.R. people while adapt at arguing for the the institution's position, but were always mechanical and unwilling to express personal opinions. As for flaws in the IMF? Well no organization is perfect.
Last week I was talking to a student from California that went to the IMF building and resisted sleeping through the session. When I asked about the experience she told me that they had given them pens that they said would glow in the dark, but they didn't really glow in the dark. "They lied ..."
Would you bank with a company that gave you bogus pens?
