Dunces with sasguru.

"Confederation of Dunces" Alert!!!

So according to Jonathan Swift, Sasguru must be a genius.

Oh hang on, you're saying he's one of the dunces.

[Bunk]

Yes. Just lube up and bend over, there's a good chap.

Lube?!?! Sorry, that's a luxury we can't afford anymore

[sasguru]

Yeah, we bail out a bank (which owns two other banks) because its dickwad director couldn't keep his ego in his pants. Then we allow the bank to pay out massive bonuses to staff. And now we read that some excel workbook pushers are paid ridiculous sums - and we are supposed to be shocked?

This is just the way Gordo and George wanted it to be. What's good for the banks has got to be good for everyone, innit?

Of course!
The quants I know (not at RBS but a very similar bank) do actual 'work' for perhaps 4 hours a day, and spend the rest of the time goofing off.!

As much as that, eh?

"some of its contract staff are paid as much as £2000 a day."

It's safe to say they won't be posting tulip on this board during working hours.

Or will they?

I was once asked by a programme manager to come to one side... where he quietly told me what my 25min social banter with a risk analytics contractor had just cost him... and said he hoped it was very valuable insight we were sharing. 2k in some specialisms is cheap!

Well, when do we get to see the leaked data?

Given the quality of some of the higher paid contractors and consultant I met when last there the country (and company) would be better off if they did post on here.

I wonder who is going to get the large fine from the Data Registrar.

Imagine such a thing! Contractors getting paid shed loads!

I shall write to my MP at once!

I think the two grand might be what Hays is getting, rather than the contractors.

Poor Pooperscooper - he thinks he's earning more than city folk, the cretin
So there he is earning a pittance, friendless and lonely.

Anyone want to do the needful and quote me
