“I’m a businessman.”
Is @Bandage not tainted by association with the Delaney era - he apparently being Dela’s project financier of choice?

He knows where the bodies are buried

Absolutely that dinner in Guilbauds was nessecary.
Real bidness men, do real bidness in places like that.
What did you want me to do? Bring them for Tapas in the market bar? FFS I’m trying to change the culture here
He’s too bald and still a bit too fat for that. But good suggestion.

There are loads of others threads that people can viciously attack Bandage on.
This thread had developed a lovely pre COVID/ pre poisonous jab feel to it, with lot’s of genuine emotion and support.
Let’s get back there and murder Bandage elsewhere.

I’ve absolutely loved my job for the past 7 or 8 years (since I started), but this year is very very difficult, I find myself taking a lot of people’s troubles home with me at night, add to that a very difficult group behaviourally and you have a real challenge.
But it’s never boring and I wouldn’t do anything else now despite the shitty money, luckily my missus has good earnings.

Oh I’m very much on this, my good man.
I’ll happily stay to the very end, mainly due to the sheer inertia I mentioned in my first post. I probably need to make it clearer I’ll gladly stay though.
All sorts of tactics are playing out in front of me (separate to the upskilling outside official work time). People trying to be very visible at meetings - you know the type, saying something for the sake of it - & people making a song & dance of taking on additional responsibilities to make them appear more critical to operations & so on. As we become a “leaner organisation”, it’ll be a real string to your bow if you can work across functions etc etc.
Some people went totally gung ho in the last few years since this structured wind down became apparent. They panicked & aggressively pursued & secured new jobs at the expense of waiting for the package. One lad even left to join some ambitious boutique US financing house looking to expand into Europe & then rejoined our place about 18 months later.
There’ll surely be a rump of deals they can’t sell & a hold portfolio of sorts will be the likely outcome. If head office are intent on closing down the Irish set up, there’s even a possibility that portfolio will be sold to another firm & a few of us could be retained to work on it. Either way, I’ll just keep tipping away &, as you say, every additional day in the organisation & pay rise will be seen in the redundancy package.

I signed off on a 100,000HUF bonus for a team member yesterday. I was delighted with myself at the generosity of it all.
