Debanking

[Mr. Dazzle]

Yeah she does seem a bit thick...if the press called you at work to ask about something, would you just tell 'em stuff 'cause you thought the story was in the public domain already? "Pretty sure everyone knows this".

[Count Steer]

Her position was untenable. She rode roughshod over GDPR regulation by briefing the media on an individual and told a pack of porkies to boot.

Unbelievable.

Which leads us to think she’s an idiot. How did she get the job?

I assume that the major shareholders rubber-stamped her appointment at the time. (2019 iirc).

[Yambo]

Unbelievable.

And it's the arrogance of it that staggers me. One, that they can deem an individual, who has committed no crime, unfit to hold an account after a number of years on dubious 'moral' grounds. Then to try to slip the media a curve ball to kill the story.

Good to see you say that gremlin.

What are the odds she'll get another high profile job, maybe in banking?

Soapy tenner says she will.

Idiot? No.

Arrogant and assured of her own righteousness? Probably.

[Mr. Dazzle]

What's the rule, 95% of the time 95% of people get it right but you can't tell when the 5% will crop up? Something like that.

She told lies initially about the debanking and has acted in an very unprofessional way - she'll get a job with the BBC.

Nope. Soiled goods.

Diversity? Not enough women in top jobs?

[Saga Lout]

I long for the days when this sort of thing was done discretely via a quiet word in a suitable ear in one's club.

Or a locked room, a bottle of whisky and your old service revolver.

Well that's why she was employed in such a position, to make the bank more diverse and inclusive.

That turned out well then.

[slowhare]

Some good news for a change.

Diversity?…

The intellectually diverse bank!

[Mr. Dazzle]

According to the BBC (yeah OK, slightly less than stellar provenance in this context ) she started at Natwest 30 years ago as a trainee. She was the first person to receive a bonus post the 2008 bail out (when the government acquired some of NatWest) off the back of strong profits.

So yeah, she's made a pretty big mistake and is now paying for it, but it doesn't appear she was parachuted into her job off the back of being a woman. How many of you started at the bottom in a big firm, then rose to the top over three decades and delivered big profits?

And then fucked it all up

Slag off Farage, wait for his public martyrdom, and take a nice earlier retirement - with a big ol' payoff to keep quiet. Top work! Some of the rest of you should have tried harder at school.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Bet he was in on it the whole time

[Ant]

It was suggested that at a dinner event, she gobbed off to a BBC reporter.

[DefTrap]

CEOs need to make their minds up whether they're paying full attention to "what goes on in their name". When something goes wrong it always starts out as some lackey's fault.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Many spend decades working their arse off doing long hours on the corporate ladder to get to that position, only to risk it all going up in a puff of smoke at any moment, so naturally one would want a massive salary for it.

And then they get accused of being an idiot who's only there for diversity and inclusion reasons

The diversity and inclusivity part of all this makes me laugh; in a truly diverse and inclusive society you'd embrace everyone, no matter their views, etc. However, all this debacle shows is that you'll be included so long as you fit our idea of what's correct.

I've worked for most of the big banks and Gnatwest in particular about three times, they aren't like the other banks and have some unusual staffing ideas. After they were a significant part of the financial crash and the government took over their plans seemed driven by politics such as pushing as many jobs as possible into Scotland which was no cheaper than London.
