RBS announce more job cuts. I actually had a gig in manufacturing last year but left just after the bloke in charge at the time (Mark Fisher) was pushed over to ABN Amro.

Not sure how many of the cuts will be contractors, it's a HUGE operation over there.

This story made me wonder what happened to him and whether the move paid off. It clearly did:

Fisher, 48, was in charge of the merger with Dutch bank ABN Amro, which helped bring the Royal Bank to their knees.

He quit RBS last year with a bumper pension pot of £4.5million after being paid £2.36million in 2007.

Don't work in a bank, it will only ever cause you heart ache.
