Could make a good read

Mrs_Ryan · 22nd July 2008, 00:50

Theres a few things I could say about a certain large credit card firm that I used to work for and a certain large high street bank I used to work for as well.... bit worried i might be cagbotted tho

indebtstudent · 23rd July 2008, 20:49

Perhpas you would be interested in knowing I could look up anyone's account details and would've easily been able to casually jot these down and take it out of the building.

Also I would have been able to steal some cash on my last day which would've been extremely difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt. Good job I'm such an honest chap (which is why I left BTW).

yourbank · 23rd July 2008, 21:26

you left, indebtstudent, I can tell I have been away from here for tooo long.....blimey, this is bad, I thought there was at least two active bank workers posting on here, GULP.
Should I duck again?

Is there anymore of us bankie workers with the balls, courage to post on here?

finlander · 27th July 2008, 13:49

I don't really care if your a happy bank worker or a disgruntled one. All info is greatly received.

Interesting to think how long you will stay happy with things as they are... I predict big changes ahead

yourbank · 27th July 2008, 14:02

The question is how you measure, happiness. Is it with the people you work with, the people you serve, the policies and processes you deal with or because you have a job that pays the bills?
I suspect huge changes ahead as well within UK Banking as a whole.

indebtstudent · 27th July 2008, 17:07

I don't think the changes are a bad thing, even if the dreaded fees for a current account return people will be forced to (shock horror) actually THINK about thier current account. I know its a huge ask, but they'll have to shop around and discover how much they're getting ripped off.

The fact that HSBC promotes the 8% in credit interest rate on its bank account plus tells you exactly how sophisticated the average bank customer isn't when choosing an account. A casual glance at this account reveals anything you gain on the interest will be more than wiped out by the fees.

The overdraft autolinker.com autolinking image

is nothing to shout about as you can beat all of these features for free elsewhere.

The thing that amuses me is thinking about, if the banks do play the fees card, how they will handle the massive increase in complaints they get. People WILL complaint if they SEE what they are paying for something.

Thoroughly glad I'm to hell out of it.

finlander · 29th July 2008, 23:06

yourbank,

It doesn't look like there are any other bank workers who will post unfortunately. Perhaps everyone is leaving because the game is up for the banks now. People tolerated the greed and excess when the banks threw money at them but those days seem to have gone. Now I think you will start to see everyone wanting their pound of flesh back. I think that the world is about to become a lot more competative and harder for those in the industry. When the bank of england says 'the good times are over ' I think they mean for both sides not just those hungry for credit.

yourbank · 30th July 2008, 07:25

Perhaps everyone is aware that to post adverse comments on their own institution CAN lead to disciplinary under the staff code of conduct if they are current bank staff.
You asked if anyone who worked for the bank wanted payback? Answer seems to be a resounding NO(quite a result for the Banks' would you not say?)
RBS Group are not making redundancies at all, and in point of fact have no plans to do so at branch/business level.
Credit crunch and bank employees being sacked? In the City maybe, but not the branches. We are firmly recruiting more staff. People may not necessarily want to work in a bank but the pay and overall package is, in my opinion, not tempting me to leave the RBS Group.
Pay, staff benefits and how they treat you within the Group. I don't see the good times being over tbh.

Sparkie1723 · 30th July 2008, 19:23

yourbank ........take a look at my thread ...Big Claim aginst RBS, maybe you will realise what kind of organisation you do work for.

Even you will be amazed.
If you are not .......then I must agree you are the type of person RBS need, and agree you should stay put with them.

Nothing I read on a bank charges autolinker.com autolinking image

forums changes the way I think about RBS Group. It is about perspective. My own perspective has never been anything but constant on the forums. I have read the good, the bad and the ugly about NatWest/RBS Group and i remain in my view. Nothing will change that.

I must say I respect your honesty,

Mrs_Ryan · 31st July 2008, 01:44

Yourbank,

you must be pretty senior then???

When my relative (the one I mentioned in the other thread, the one who had a nervous breakdown) worked for NatWest, he said to his wife that he was thinking of leaving to go and work for the local SUPERMARKET as the managers there earned more than he did!!!! And bear in mind that he was one of the youngest branch managers in the North of England. (in fact I beleive at one time he was the youngest)

I think your honesty and loyalty should be applauded. You wouldnt catch me talking that way about Abbey or Cap 1 who I worked for

finlander · 31st July 2008, 01:59

yourbank,

Kind of contradict yourself there. staff can be disciplined for tell the truth about their employers but none of them want payback so thats a good result for the banks? Perhaps they are just scared. Doesn't sound very good for the banks that. Frightening their own employees and restricting their freedom of speech. Still what ever turns you on.....

yourbank · 31st July 2008, 07:28

Staff CAN be disciplined when they make comments on the internet. What if I was to say that Sir Fred Goodwin take a percentage of all monies taken as a result of bank charges autolinker.com autolinking image

only?(That is completely untrue, btw). Should a comment like that maybe made on facebook be allowed to remain without recourse? Is that threatening or is that something else? Perspective is everything in this. What you view as frightening employees is nonsense to be honest. Code of Conduct is something that is applicable to everyone from cashier to chief executive.
