On top of a couple of the big Scottish banks not reversing their stance to allow engagement of PSCs until the legislation in the interim period, I hear there's now enforced rate cuts coming for contractors. Talk about giving them a kicking when they're down.

Rate cuts have been the norm for a very long time. This list is long and still doesn't capture them all.

Even when I swore to myself I'd never work in banks again, I found a hard wall when applying for jobs in other sectors and ended up just moving from bank to bank.
I don't know why but other industries don't always see banking positively; most of the times I get the feeling they don't want to touch us with a 10 foot pole. Or maybe it's just me.Comment
