    Well said. Rate Cuts + 15 working days furlough + bunch of Mandatory Compliance courses each quarter

      All banks have these or at least all IBs that I've worked in have done.

        Are you sure? All banks have 3 weeks furlough ? I can name you a lot with 0.

          Errrrrm, I believe he was discussing the highlighted text, rather than the furlough.

            Plus Barclays HR is replacing Contractors with Consultancies. Not sure why, but contractors are not popular any more...

              If this forum is anything to go by it would be because they are all cretins.

                That relative and subjective statement. Relative to you they are cretins, but you know they are not replacing them with Nobel prize winners, they are taking monkeys(cheap bobs) for nuts.

                  Here at Nordea Bank we are called 'Consultants'. Even though we are Contractors....

                    Very general statement, do you know about all the recruitment there?

                    Quite often this is budgetary, there is always a separate budget for consultancies and contractors.
                    In addition a consultancy can get bodies onsite tomorrow, no credit checks required.

                    Sad, but that's how it is.

                      By consultancies I have in mind something like Accenture, WiPro etc
