"What's different about the City is the numbers. They all have a lot more zeros on the end. This means that when things go well – and sometimes when they don't – the people who work there can
mostrar mais demand bonuses which also have a lot of zeros on the end. And the people who determine the bonuses (the bosses) are happy to go along with it because it means that they, in turn, will have to be paid more. Granted, the work is stressful, difficult and demanding, and the hours can be very long, and of course it's highly competitive. But so are a lot of other jobs. The difference is in those zeros. There's also almost no job security, however big the firm."So with huge rewards on the one hand and sudden death on the other, it's hardly surprising when the City brutally exposes the fault lines in human nature. Greed, fear, ruthlessness and impatience are a lethal cocktail. And of course people behaving badly make for great fiction and wonderful villains. They may not be attractive, but they are rarely dull. And, as we have all learnt to our cost, the City matters. When things go wrong in the Square Mile we all get to pick up the tab. So here are my top 10 picks to educate and entertain you about what really goes on there."
