RBS to shed 9,000 jobs

RBS redundancies

Anybody know if these job losses will affect the Southend credit card centre at all?

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

This is the next phase of redundancies. If they aint included this time, I suspect they will get affected at some point.

The 4500 UK redundancies is not the last of it.

Other than the changes to your contractual arrangements we've spoken about here, you're OK this time Gaz?

My mate's Mrs up here has just gone off on maternity leave from the FSSC at Gogarburn and wants to negotiate flexible working on her return. I bet there's no way she'll get what she is after!

Nope...I am in with a shout of being one of the 4500.

Well, having lived through 2 redundancies and a number of contracts not being renewed if you need another perspective if the worst does happen, you know where I am...

Well I'm guessing all the money they "saved" by laying them off will now go to Fred the Shreds pension fund?

Unfortunatly there will be more after this batch as well.. Then LLoyds Hbos will get started soon , they will lay off even more, every high street probably has a branch of both!!! never mind the big head offices etc

I think more back office jobs will go.
Less visible to the public, therefore less threatening to public's perception of how the bank is performing!

RBS will never move overseas thats why they built thanet grange.

the 4500 jobs at risk are call centre and back office staff so with my sister still working there fingers cross southend will be ok, but Southend call centre is a over flow to the main call centre in Manchester

leaving RBS was the best thing iv ever done

I've got a friend who's just been made redundant from the RBS call centre in Southend.

Something to do with something they have already "acquired" out there so I'm told, not saying it would be the whole outfit but rumours are part of it could go.

Don't count on that.

Supposedly the 9,000 jobs to go arent new figures they are part of the 20000 that was announced a few months ago. Just the media putting a negatvie spinon things making it look like another 9000 to go when actually that isnt the case.

It's in the "Group Manufacturing" division (which is a SIGNIFICANT size) of the business. Retail banking, credit cards, bank accounts etc etc. The credit card centre at Southend would be affected - however, it is unlikely a lot of customer facing staff will be chopped.
