Best client : Barclays? WTF

[LondonManc]

I guess it depends which Barclays - Barclays Capital, retail, wealth, as a whole, etc.

If a client is paying well and renewing, of course they're your favourite.

3rd time in Barclays, all depends on the team and who you are working with. Great team this time round but only first time was the work any good.... Endless bureaucracy and inefficiencies bit like the NHS except with a bottomless pit of money. Bad team + Working in Barclays is nothing short of a prison sentence.

And you've avoided all mandatory rate cuts and being walked off site in that time. That's some good going.

I got hit with the rate cut first time I was there which then meant I was able to negotiate notice period and leave quickly. So far so good this time but contract ends soon and already have had several offers come in so no threat from any rate cuts as I'll just walk.

So to summarise then, Barclays is a crap client. Some people were lucky and it was OK but as a client they generally suck, hence my disbelief it won.

I guess it's won the best client award but is also quite likely to have won the worst client award as well

WHS

Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Patrick Duffy walking out of a shower and a Brexit deal where we get all we want was far more believable.

[WTFH]

Let's see... if I was at the best client, would I tell potential competitors of mine who that client was, give that my competitors would be happy on a lower rate than I'm on?
