Goldman Sachs International has triggered a clause inserted into the employment contracts of a group of its London-based investment bankers in mid-2009 that will result in them having to take a pay cut, Financial News has learned. A number of staff across the investment bank’s European division, which is based in London, have been told this summer that their base salaries will be cut, a source with knowledge of the situation told Financial News.

    Even with a pay cut, the boys will still be able to have a nice night out on the town and I shan't feel sorrow for them.
