    Lloyds cut 940 jobs

    It's never good to hear that people have lost their jobs but I imagine that this will be particularly painful just off the back of Christmas.

    It's much better than if it was right BEFORE Christmas ...

      Plenty of low paid shelf stacker jobs that these financial types might aspire to.

        "Lloyds Banking Group is cutting 940 jobs across the company including 300 job losses from its retail and wealth and international divisions."

        Are the wealthy also getting poorer?

          If they bank at Lloyds they probably are, yes.

              Not a pleasant situation, my contract ends at the end of Feb - I could do without all that extra competition

                Bad news for those affected. If some are branch / sales based staff they may struggle to get similar posts, so MUN, no need to panic unless they are project based staff.

                  Consolidation and centralisation programme into one area.

                  We're now at about 1/4 of the combined LTSB / HBOS IT staff being cut since the merger. More offshoring/ outsourcing too.
