It's important to remember that banks hand out vice president titles like business cards. It makes the vice president feel important and gives customers someone with a splashy title to yell at.

From what I've heard of this story, a woman who had a history of mental issues stabbed a random man getting out of the subway and then went and stabbed this woman. Her position at a bank is nothing more than attention grabbing headlines.

Just a heads up, if you look into this at all you'll probably come across the video of the stabber being shot and killed.

To add to this, she might have been just another cog. I don't know how BofA titles work, but I have known people with a VP title that had no one reporting to them and had no decision making authority.

She was a vice president of business selection and conflicts

She was a specialist in "conflicts" and she got conflict there in Times Square. Failed to resolve the conflict miserably.

Hopefully it was a quality knife and is easily cleaned

Unless it only went through tissue, probably.

Friendly reminder to folks that you should always keep your knives sharp. It's safer to cut with a sharp knife so the edge doesn't slip.

yeah and some of them are tossed around like candy. seriously my last job people who would not even be a division had the title. it was like the easiest thing to get beyond middle management.

yep, its a middle management role at banks, not executive. There are probably thousands of vp's at BofA.
