Originally posted by ace00 View PostLONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - British bank Barclays Plc (BARC.L) is to cut just over 400 jobs in its UK technology departments, it said on Wednesday.
Barclays said a review of its IT operations will see about 158 permanent staff and 250 contractor positions go, mainly in Cheshire and London.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
