Barclays again...

[Bumfluff]

Is that across the whole group, as I had heard something similar (projects on hold until then etc..).

Not sure defiantly certains bits of Barclays and it's across the board, all functions IT, the business etc and a decent sized head count reduction.

Not looking forward to it as I'm sitting next to one of the guys going, he isn't expecting it all. Permies going before contractors, glad I'm contracting if I go I go I need a holiday anyway but I'm pretty sure I will be ok to end of gig, may a be another rate cut, would be harder to take if long to run on gig but I've not got long anyway so will just take the hit

By redundancies I take it you mean permies? Any word about contractors?

[Bumfluff]

There is going to be another load of redundencies on the 15th this week, a client co permy got drunk and told me who in my team was going, can't look these people in the eye now.

For someone with so much venom, you're a bit sensitive, aren't you?

Nah, I just like taking pot shots at some of the vermin you come across sometimes, You know, like you do.

What goes around...what? He'll have a 3 month paid holiday during the "consultion period" followed by a nice hefty payout.

When the business is restructured in any way, of course roles and responsibilities of supporting roles become unclear.

What goes around indeed; perhaps it'll be your turn again soon eh?

Bunch of nobs. How can they have people who's roles and responsibilities are unclear? Oh, I forgot, the permie managers at barclays are incompentent as well as nobs!

Nice to know 150 of them at radbroke will be getting the push. Hope one is the permie manager who was laughing at the new of contractor rate cuts of 20% back in 2001.
