26 – An Inside Job

Short Story Cast

A short story by James Winterbottom

This story is about a bank manager that goes off the rails and decides to rob his own bank after he becomes disillusioned with how the job he used to love has changed too much. This story is influenced by the time I spent working as a banking advisor in a small branch of a bank in 2005. Some of the details included in the story are true or based on the things I heard while I was working there. Other bits are made up.

One thing I didn’t include, but I wish I had found a way to crowbar in, was the story that was doing the rounds about the bank manager in my area that had a breakdown and spent the morning hiding in a cupboard to try and avoid the area manager who was trying to have a meeting with them about their poor sales figures.

If you would like to get in touch, please feel free to email me at [e-mail], on Twitter or on Facebook.

I’ll be back soon with another short story. In the meantime, please remember to subscribe and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Goodbye!

James
