Facing the Barclays cut?

Barclays has said 5,000 roles will go in 2026, about 60% of them in support functions — including developers. If you're in scope, the next eight weeks will be run by people with lawyers and a process. This is yours.

The Barclays Cut Playbook — £49, delivered Friday 14 November. What's in it: the statutory baseline and what Barclays has paid before; what's negotiable and what isn't; the questions to ask in consultation; when to take advice and from whom (an employee-side solicitor, whose fee the employer usually contributes to); and what people in your position at other banks did. One document, written for Barclays, nothing generic.

If we don't deliver it by 14 November, you're refunded. No subscription, no account.

Pre-orders open with the first issue — Friday 31 October.

Talent Risk takes no money from the companies it rates. If we refer you to a solicitor, we say so, and we say whether we're paid for it.
