New York contractors eh? Funny, I never really experienced any real contract market in the US, certainly not to the tune of 200. I reckon it's BS.
I'd believe it if they said permies, but you'd imagine that would make news of some kind. 200 IT staff is a big chunk of any major IB bank.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

They have stopped selling their sub prime mortgages , no takers to sell them on to apparently. From what I have been told they are only servicing existing mortgages.
Recruitment incollections and legal department have risen but all projects canned.
Still the banks wernt the real loosers here , although they lost billions it was nothing compared to the pension funds and private investors that they sold these so called AAA investments onto.
Lehmans still have 220 Billion in the bank so dont think they will go bust just yetWarning unicorn meat may give you hallucinationsComment
