RBS to axe 3,500 IT and back office jobs
- Tycho 16y agoHmm, just when I'll be entering the job market. I wish I knew what that number meant in relative terms, some way of visualizing how much more difficult my job prospects just became.
- arethuza 16y agoBBC Scotland is describing it as "RBS move to boost Scottish jobs"! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-11165360 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-11165360
- VBprogrammer 16y agoUnusually biased for the BBC. It quite simply makes good business sense. Living costs in most of Scotland are significantly lower than most parts of England, salaries are similarly lower. Edinburgh in particular has always had a strong standing in the finance industry so has a large pool of skilled workers.
