Barclay employees lose job after 44000 pound dinner Mind you: they paid for the meal out of their own pockets.
They were fired because of their decadence (while the City was suffering a slow period) and their behaviour when the details of the meal became public. (The story started in July last year, but I couldn't find anything about it in the archive).
Next time you order a bottle of '47 Petrus, make sure your boss is not looking.
