Fucking women. It’s not that financial services firms in the UK don’t want to employ them, or think they couldn’t do just as bang-up a job as the men. This is not one of those situations.* The Brits love the ladies and would like nothing than more to hire them, and maybe maul them a little on the job. And therein lies the problem. Not with the grabbing of asses, per se. Nothing wrong with that. The issue is with the obscene potential pay-out these chippies could collect in the event their colleagues or superiors decide through no fault of their own to get pawsy.
Nichola Pease, deputy chairman and former chief executive of the division of Credit Suisse Group AG, said companies are scared away from hiring women because penalties for successful sex discrimination claims are unlimited and the U.K. offers 52 weeks of maternity leave compared with 12 weeks in the U.S.
“A year maternity leave is too long, and sex discrimination claims that run into 10s of millions of pounds are ridiculous,” Pease told the Treasury Committee, a cross- party panel of lawmakers overseeing economic policy.
“What I worry about is that legislation and protection turns this into a nightmare,” Pease said. “We’ve got to be realistic and make sure the protection, which has very good motivation, doesn’t end up backfiring both at a female level and at a U.K. competitiveness level.”

best Rounders-related tag ever
great tag, Ping for RBS HR Chief!
Let’s play “guess Greg’s next post.”
Only 2 choices though, it’s either a story lifted from Bloomberg or a subject where he can work in that picture of the foreclosed home.
@3 let’s play, s a fucking d, don’t bring that trash into my domain.

Boss Luvin, I resent that.

With 52 weeks of paid maternity leave, it seems possible for a woman to work for a year or two, and then remain on maternity leave indefinitely by continously pumping out babies.
That’s even better than the “work at home” arrangements some broads get in NYC. (If you like a bunch of kids…)
BTW, last night, I had “good motivation,” but I ended up “backfiring at a female level.”
I ate some bad cannolis.

excellent, EXCELLENT tags
I’m going to open a new pub down the old kent road. I’m calling it: Slags & Slores
I miss England.
I don’t get why that guy can say this but I get in trouble just mentioning that “I only hire women to blow me.” what gives?
-fred goodwin
in the poker game of life, women are the fucking rake.
my philosophy doesn’t seem so bad right about now, does it?

Slores gots to get paid too.

BL, you’re a Rounders fan? Excellent news.
how many times do you think CG has been sued for sexual harassment? ball park.
Bess, I believe you incorrectly scaled that image. You’re making that fine broad look like some disfigured tramp.
Original image: 356×499
Scaled image: 178×250
Your image: 128×250

Bess,
Your knowledge of pop culture as well as your bawdy style of writing is very appealing to me.

It’s not like Nichola doesn’t contribute to the negative image of female fecundity either:

“Crispin and Nichola Pease are known as the industry?s Posh and Becks. The founder of Odey Asset Management, Crispin recently bought his wife a £300,000 diamond ring.
Unusually in WAG circles, Nichola works– she is reputed to earn £3.5m a year at JO Hambro Capital Management– but only four days a week, so she can see her three children on Fridays.”
@19 holy comb over
@19– so every year she takes US near equivalent of maternity leave even though she’s not knocked up.
I can think of one hot piece of ass a certain UK financial services firm has on payroll.
-Queen E
so rbs would be worse off if it had hot chicks like the one above? challenge.
Is it true that most Jewish women prefer anal sex prior to marriage and/or Hanukkah?
@24is it true that your comment was a massive failure at an attempt to be funny? yes.
told ya!
-ping j
@24, you are such an asshole.
@20
@23, RBS would be worse off if it had employees. Fortunately there are fewer of those every day.

For the record: I’d hit it.

@Anal_yst: Bess sets the tagging standard higher with each passing week. Also we need Ping here on this coast. TG needs some help at Treasury–let’s put her on the job.

@19 “This week, Armstrong International, an executive search firm, revealed that European heads of corporation finance can expect to receive up to £5m. Senior workers will get around £1m, and even juniors at major banks such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Citigroup can expect around £350,000.”
