A high-flying city banker was dismissed from his role after engaging in a brief affair with a junior colleague, an employment tribunal has heard. The case took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that the banker allegedly became "unhinged" upon discovering his wife was pregnant.
The Scandal Unfolds
The tribunal was told that the married banker, whose identity remains confidential, had a short-lived relationship with the junior staff member. The affair came to light after colleagues raised concerns about inappropriate workplace behaviour.
Shocking Revelations
According to testimony, the banker's behaviour reportedly spiralled out of control when he learned his wife was expecting. Witnesses described his reaction as erratic and concerning, leading to further investigations by the bank's HR department.
Employment Fallout
The financial institution took swift action, terminating the banker's employment following an internal review. The tribunal is now examining whether the dismissal was justified or if there were procedural failings in the investigation process.
This case highlights the complex intersection of personal conduct and professional responsibilities in the high-pressure world of city banking.
