I read an article in which the city bankers gave an insight as to what it was like working there at the moment and how 'tough' they were finding things. When I read the bit (written by a city employee of over a decade) that said "People are buying lunch for £5 in the cafeteria rather then spending £20 on some Sushi or Dim Sum outside"... well I'm afraid any compassion I might have felt for these guys dried up right there and then!
In the first instance, who goes out at lunchtime and blows £20 on a whim? I'm sorry, but someone who used could be so extravagant on a daily basis before the financial crisis will get only my contempt. Even £5 spent spent in the cafeteria could be considered unncessary as I could quite easily (and often do) make this last a whole week!
A monthly team lunch at a nice restaurant is one thing, but pointless daily extravegance for the sake of it is another matter. I wonder if such carelessness with money is perhaps the root cause all these problems and perhaps amore meagre salary would teach these people the value of money. As the saying goes "you reap what you sow" - so maybe you lot are all getting what you deserve!
