One meeting. One decision. A battle no one expects him to survive.
Ranjit has spent four years building a successful career at a London investment bank - long hours, quiet competence, no mistakes. Then, without warning, his manager takes him into a private room and asks a question that makes no sense. Would he consider voluntary redundancy? No redundancies have been announced. No one else is asked. And when Ranjit refuses, events move fast. His role is declared redundant. His appeals are dismissed. His grievances vanish into a system designed to protect the bank.
