No Guardian, excertos de um trabalho antropológico sobre o mundo da City.
Nele são entrevistados vários quadros do sistema financeiro. Retratos sombrios. De desesperança:
Just this week a colleague of mine was called into the meeting room and … fired. Just like that. He wasn't even given time to pick up his stuff, that was all done for him. He hadn't met his targets. Later we were called into the meeting room and I was told 'Look, you don't need to worry, you're doing fine.' That's the City for you, people are used and discarded like objects.
"I never thought I'd become the person I am now. Back in my country I used to work in a job where I'd help people, actually improve their lives. These days I am cheating, lying, manipulating – all in the name of targets. The crazy thing is, I am good at this. I get bonuses.
