Chapter 20
The Rules of the Game
A young trader named David is about to lose his job and does not see the end coming. Losing his job will be a great personal, professional, and financial blow. Because of his loss, he will probably lose his apartment and his credit score will fall. It will take him a long time to get back on his feet. I happen to be friends with the top management of the company where he works and I am privy to his impending fate, but I am unable to warn him.
The two questions that have been nagging at me for days are:
1. How did this happen?
2. And why is he unaware of it?
Actually, I know the answer to both of these questions. The answer is that despite all of his hard work and good intentions, David has failed to play by the rules of the game he is playing.
