My word is not my bond? Reneging on employment offers

Call me old fashioned, but I still believe in the old Forex Associations motto of ‘My word is my bond’. But it seems that a few of the talented crop of dealers and sales people who work in the market no longer feel the same.

The City is full of buzz about how a group of hot-shot dealers and sales people have been reneging on agreements with prospective employees. In some cases, they have actually signed contracts to start new jobs, but then walked away when better offers have come in. Of course, in the current environment, they can perhaps be forgiven for looking after themselves. But when the package they’ve been offered is actually extremely decent, it is surely unethical to renege because more dosh has been offered.
