Hmm... oh dear.

This is just the beginning. Barcap and HSBC just canned a few 'critical' projects too. Watch those 'business critical IT programmes' fall like houses of cards. Again.

Watch them all come back with the new regulatory frameworks.

Plenty of time to work on your spelling, grammar, and punctuation then.

LONDON, 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.

I thought that had been common knowledge for a while now, or maybe this is 'another' cull. They will all be rehired in a few months anyway surely.

250 IT contractor positions is a lot , particularly when there are only a handful of contracts being offered in the City these days.

Many of the job losses are in their Cheshire base, which I've heard is just some back office place full of tape changers.
