Layoffs Watch ’13: Barclays

By

New CEO Antony Jenkins has apparently been reading the Tarot cards on Barclays and what they’re telling him is the bank is about to have 40,000 fewer employees.

In meetings with shareholders of the bank, Mr Jenkins has said that he saw a future in which the bank employed 100,000 staff, Sky News has reported. Barclays currently hires roughly 140,000 people.

    Myabe I've just been at the office too long these past few days, but did anyone else catch the subtle reference to Knocked Up in the tags?

    I see a future in which there is a casket with Jenkins in it.

    British people just suck in Finance. Fancy accents and nice rides, that's about it.
