Reinforcement ... if it was needed.
McDonalds ... a world wide recognised brand. I'm assuming that like all organisations of this size McDonalds is rammed with highly paid executive employees.
Yet ...

Briefly, Anna having worked at the bank for years applies for the job as branch manager only to lose out to a younger woman whom Anna had trained. Fed up, Anna has a go at money laundering, initially to ensure her husband's business won't go bust. but then for some criminals. Anna is doing well. When the branch manager finds out she gets into a quandary until plucking up courage she fires Anna. Without access to the bank's computers, things then becomes nasty with the criminals so Anna knocks off the branch manager, freezes their accounts before turning herself in to the bank's audit bosses. In the final episode (10), Anna is transferred to the bank's head office and ends up head of laundering compliance, or such like.
This seems an excellent plan. I can see no possible downsides

I'm always amazed when people are unable to see the irony/sarcasm in a post, when it's so obvious to everyone else.
Makes reading a thread much more amusing for the rest of us mind.

Which people? I construed the latter posts as strictly tongue-in-cheek. My own post was in the same vein. And I imagine other readers - apart from perhaps a few more sensitive members of the Cosa Nostra - would construe likewise.
