Saucy chef calls Lehman licentious

Lehman Brothers found itself at the centre of embarrassing public revelations last month when a chef formerly employed by the bank challenged the terms of his dismissal and implied that loose morals were inherent to the firm’s culture.

Lehman, which is one of the more straight-laced institutions in the City of London, sacked Bruce Sangster from his position as head chef at its Broadgate office in January 2002 on the grounds that he had been sending pornographic images over the firm’s email system.
