Twitch streamer Squeex recounts how he "accidentally" got promoted at his first job at an investment firm

Squeex hosted a six-hour long speed-running broadcast on August 10 and spent a lot of time interacting and conversing with his fans.

The content creator was looking forward to a weekend off and stated to his fans that he would be taking some paid time off (PTO).

Fans jestfully stated that they were denying the streamers' PTO, and soon enough, the topic of him working at an investment bank came up. Squeex read out loud a comment made by a viewer and said:

"'You're down on game diversity.' Dude, that's like, in my first job, I was working at an investment bank, and I lost $100,000. Anyway, three months later, one of my bosses was like, 'Hey, could we have a meeting?'"

He claimed that he was certain that he would soon be fired, but then something totally unexpected happened:

"I thought I was going to get fired, and my boss and his boss' boss takes me into the meeting room and says, 'We're giving you a promotion.'"

The Twitch streamer began giggling and continued further by talking about the initial reaction he had after getting promoted:

"I was like, 'What?!' you can't tell me that! What the f**k! You can't tell me that, I can't believe they said that to me! I was like really p*ssed off for like a second, and then they said I was going to get paid more. Let me tell you, I'm riding that white heel to the top, baby. Let's f***ing go! Holy s**t!"

Fans were curious as to how Squeex managed to incur a $100,000 loss during his employment at the firm. He elaborated:

"It was an accounting error. It was my bad, it was really my bad. Like, I'll take the 'L' for that, like, am I an a**hole for someone's $100,000? Am I the a**hole, really? It happened once, one time. One time!
