Q4 was dire followed by a dire Q1. I know quite a few MDs who have been asked by their respective banks to put together "living will's" (what an arse of a term) in the event this persists to Q42019.

I.e. how do we cut 10 people to 2 to retain the knowledge for the future...

That's why "Cloud business solutions" are advertised...

Yes, seeing a bad Q1 in my seat (but my comment was actually intended as generic across debt - trading through to DCM).

You must be in a better shop!

Two-man-and-a-dog shop, and it isn't even clear which one is the dog...

So I don't really see that much other than what people want to tell me. Which they sometimes do, sometimes don't.

Maybe things will get better post Brexit (or worse)

At least we will see some change (better or worse) rather than just attrition management.
