    Sacked in the City

    In my 25 year career in the City I've been sacked 8 times, including 3 walk to the doors! This is in banking and fund management.

    Have other people who have had similar working lengths in City experienced the same level of getting sacked; or am I an outlier; or have I just worked for nasty people?

    Thanks for answering.

      Could have been worse - you could have had 2 divorces and a pack of "tax avoidance" schemes

        In my 25 year career in the City I've sacked one cretin 8 times, including 3 walk to the doors! This is in banking and fund management.

        Have other people who have had similar working lengths in City experienced the same level of cretinism; or am I an outlier; or have I just worked for nasty people that are useless at hiring?

        Thanks for answering.

                  It's normal. In my experience all banking contractors are cretins.

                    No real poster would put this as their first post .... if it quacks like a sockie, and looks like a sockie, it's a sockie
