It won't be the ones with the big bonuses, It will be the poor workers who haven't had a raise for 5 years due to the banking crisis who are paid minimum wage and commission for selling savings products which then turn to duff rates due to the small print and they have to explain the customer why they are getting 0.000015% while Fred the Shred walks away with billions.

They will be lucky of only 4000 of the 19000 are sacked. Other reports reckon more like 10000.

Boomed.

Like someone said earlier in the thread a lot of the people who are sacked will just be normal staff who don't earn massive amounts or get massive bonuses. I have a friend at Lloyds TSB in Cardiff Bay and they're all waiting to hear about whether they're going to be made redundant. He's a nice guy has and family and only earns about 25-30k and he's in MI, not everyone who works in a bank is loaded.
