This is an updated edition of the City bestseller, with a brand new epilogue. By most people's standards, Jim Parton was being paid vast sums of money for doing nothing very much in the City. That is until, right in the middle of the recession, he is unceremoniously fired by his ungrateful boss. Sound familiar? Of course. But this is not 2009 mid credit crunch, this is the early 1990s. This a story from the last crisis, telling how Jim survived the shock of losing his job, the fallout from it, and how, despite all of it, he went on to have a happier life (in the end). This is Jim's story of 'before and after'; of Maseratis and designer clothes; of dim people earning disgusting salaries; and, of fashionable redundancy becoming feared unemployment and of what really happens when you spend more time with your wife and family. This is a tale from the previous crash then, but one offering hope to those in the City right now and to those outside the City providing an insight to what life is like for people who populate the Square Mile. Find out what happens when the money stops.
