Albert Tatlock Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 'given the market conditions'...which the very same bar-stewards help create. Those at the top are still sitting pretty, it's the poor footsloggers paying the price. That's just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those at the top are still sitting pretty, it's the poor footsloggers paying the price. That's just wrong. Particularly when they've written a letter to shareholdes telling em they're going ot exceed the predicted £5bn profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanxfella Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So it's not Island jobs then? No despite the sensationalist (and wrong) headline in the Examiner the other week the 500 jobs mentioned were across London, Jersey, Guernsey, and the IOM. So each location is going to lose but its not the totally miserable news the journalists here have been rubbing their hands in glee over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Erin Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So it's not Island jobs then? No despite the sensationalist (and wrong) headline in the Examiner the other week the 500 jobs mentioned were across London, Jersey, Guernsey, and the IOM. So each location is going to lose but its not the totally miserable news the journalists here have been rubbing their hands in glee over. You will find a few going from Eagle Court in the call centre + a few low grade administrators v soon...just clearing out a bit of dead wood that keeps the seats warm. Queen Victoria House wallahs are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhoon Boy Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 The few going from the call centre is 15 out of 100, it may only be a few but if you happen to be one of them...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 No despite the sensationalist (and wrong) headline in the Examiner the other week the 500 jobs mentioned were across London, Jersey, Guernsey, and the IOM. So each location is going to lose but its not the totally miserable news the journalists here have been rubbing their hands in glee over. It was actually in the Manx Independent. The headline read: Jobs in limbo for 800 - Anxious wait for Barclays staff. And the story said the jobs affected people across the UK, the CI and here in the second paragraph.

You will find a few going from Eagle Court in the call centre + a few low grade administrators v soon...just clearing out a bit of dead wood that keeps the seats warm. Queen Victoria House wallahs are safe. Jobs at QVH are going also dip shit, Barclays Wealth....as my house mate works there. Get your facts right before posting utter bull shit knob head. Also, they've been offered voluntary redundancy which some people are taking ( my house mate as a point in case, since there moving back to the UK ), its also not just the " dead wood " being cleared out, there are also some people higher up in the food chain going. I bet your the sort of person who sees a car crash and goes " wow.....I wonder if anyone is dead, lets stop and look ". I'm praying you lose your job and end up sleeping in Strand Street, please have a sign saying " my name is PE and I was a MF member, please give me money " - I'll give you a golden shower.
