BarCap Comp Drama Even Worse We Thought

Seriously, Bob Diamond, what kind of bucket shop are you running over there? You cannot get people’s hopes up like this. I’m telling you, these junior rainmakers have options. They will walk if you don’t make this right.

The conference call on which HR told us 1st 2nd and 3rd year s/t analysts that we were getting shafted? Laughable fiasco. They held the same call last week with bankers to tell them about the raise. So everyone in s/t was expecting the same on our call this week. HR also wouldn’t explain a thing. Major foul-up.

Ibd is on a July year end schedule. Capital markets was switched this year to the normal Dec year end. So we got royally fucked by getting a stub bonus at the worst possible time, and now shafted again by having to wait until Feb to get a raise too.
People are definitely pissed.

    Dear (B)S&T fairies,
    Maybe you should have gone to good schools and come from prestigious families and you might have become bankers instead of a bunch of guido, shit-chucking apes.

    @ 23… Come on, going to good schools is so passe. Delaware state college and working Charlotte is the new killing it. Everyone knows this.

    Make money making markets and taking advantage of lack of liquidity to make money, then get upset when HR does the same on jobs in the field.
    Ho-hum. Stub bonus at the worst time = bonus when people got pink slips. I am sure everyone is really sympathetic.

  27. Posted by guest | October 2, 2009 at 3:47 PM

    CFA or MBA?

    @23 Sounds like you went somewhere like Bowdoin (also couldn’t get into Exeter), and you “luckily” fell into an I banking job (which you hate). You now have to overcompensate about your shitty life (past / present / future) on DB’s message board to make yourself feel better about the fact that the last time you got laid was a year ago by some fat chick who went to Bryn Mawr.

    @32- Jes Staley went to Bowdoin. Suck our collective prestige, bitches.

    apparently also on that call, new 1st year associates get paid higher base than 2nd and maybe even 3rd year associates. At any rate even old Lehman never set the trend on base pay.

    CFA is fucking MEANINGLESS
    MBA all the way

  36. Posted by guest | October 2, 2009 at 9:13 PM

    Typical. Barclay’s is a s–t show. Poor management, they’re running the place in to the ground one day at a time.

  37. Posted by guest | October 2, 2009 at 9:15 PM

    36: MBA? What are you an Indian IT Analyst looking to make the big jump to IBD? If you’re a true stud you don’t need either. But if you need something CFA gits er done.

    Think about it… Barcap has always sucked and now they have absorbed a failure to dilute themselves to even more mediocrity. What a shitty place to be. LOL. I guess some people just want to be on wall street that bad! I heard the mcdonalds down on broadway near wall street is hiring a new piano player… guys? any takers? i’m sure its a pay raise for your analyst fucks at barcap.

    @39 Buying Lehman was the best deal Barclays ever made.
    The Firm’s bankruptcy came as the result of systemic failure, not the cause.

    @41
    That’s what I’ve been saying this whole time! Cuz one thing I know for sure. It wasn’t MY fault my company had a balance sheet full of crummy assets and we couldn’t react fast enough to avoid the (I love this term BTW) “Financial Tsunami”.
