I was waiting to see when this would hit. From what I hear they are doing a poor job of it. It's like the undead souls zombies wandering the hallways waiting, waiting, waiting.

"Security" is in the same part of the dictionary as are "shit" and "syphillis".

I'm glad I daytrade the ES from home. Don't have to worry about this.

Have a nice day!

as for the "shitty job" comment. I'd like to say no one at Barclays is responsible for the situation we're in.

which group hit hardest? How is I-banking holding up? Lay-man guys gonna survive?

Posted by guest , Oct 22, 2008 4:20PM

I can confirm I-banking (i.e., advisory) was not spared (not me personally).

How's BarchLehs Equity Derivatives doing?

Most of the guys I knew there cashed out in '07. I hope they sold before the dam burst.

Does anyone know what groups were hit at BC? Cuts across all levels or just top/mid mgt people?

"You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue."

most of the grooups at barcap were hit, across all levels. consumer and retail in specific was hit pretty bad, most of the guys left are lehman, like 75% of the old barcap people are gone.

Posted by guest , Oct 22, 2008 10:02PM

@27: dont know about 75% of ppl..

i heard dcm was not hit as bad at all and the head of dcm is a old barcap guy. but then again they were strong on the dcm side

Posted by guest , Oct 22, 2008 10:28PM

i don't get it. everyday has seen layoffs for the past months, not just today.
