Credit Crunch Brings New Honesty In Advertising
Posted by Lucky Tiler on 8 January 2009 - 3:53pm.
Tongue in cheek, and with apologies to bank employees, I came across this on the eWeb yesterday:
| Programme Manager | |||||
| Location: | , Edinburgh and Lothians | ||||
| Reference: | !pixellated out! | ||||
| Salary: | £0 - £0 | ||||
| Start Date: | |||||
| Contract Length: | 3 months | ||||
| Job Description: |
|||||
| Programme Manager required by major UK banking group. Strong leadership skills required along with demonstrable success in the initiation and management of global change programmes within a banking environment.

| Contact: | !pixellated out! | email: | !pixellated out! | ||
| Telephone: | !pixellated out! | Fax: | !pixellated out! | ||
I was unable to apply, as I don't have a criminal record, but with new acts of criminal irresponsibility in the world's banks coming to light daily, isn't it nice to see them being honest about the kind of people they employ?

Good to see
They've also reduced the pay of senior management staff in the banking sector as well.
I have stood empty handed at the bottom...
...of escalators before now when I see the sign "Dogs must be carried"
I still wonder
when I see the words 'Keep Away from Children' on the side of matchboxes. Why? Do children all carry infectious diseases?
Injury time
I used to listen to football matches on the radio with my Dad when I was very young. I was always fascinated whenever the commentator told us 'we're into injury time now'.
Not being able to see what was going on, for a long long time I thought it meant that it was time for the players to, legally, injure each other. I could never understand why neither team seemed to leap at the opportunity to beat f*ck out of each other with impunity.
Carry on. If you need me I'll be over there.
I just love...
...the phrase 'Vacancy Cart'...don't know why, it's just mysteriously evocative...
Caution Horses
I like. They bloody ignore me when I do it though.
Fair comment
But I HATE seeing something so work related on the blog like that "advert" - I come here to escape that shit.
And similarly...
...some of us come here to excape environments where you can't seem to say anything without offending someone.
Well not a big deal
I think everyone is generally pretty cool here actually.
EMERGENCY GAP JUMPER
Most tube stations have a large box marked "Emergency Gap Jumper". In a cold weather emergency there's no time for brand snobbery.
Thank you Nick
To lapse into txtspk, I lol'd.
