Similar thing happened to myself and colleagues in one particular role. We were offered a good rate for life insurance by a salesman until his head office looked into what we routinely did. They withdrew the offer entirely. I have to say, with a young family to consider, it was one factor that prompted my decision to move on.

But there’s a lot of dead folks who had “safer” jobs….
