Post on The Lawyer today : Legal Job Watch: UK 200 TOTAL REDUNDANCIES: 2199
The interesting thing about The Lawyer’s reporting (and LegalWeek for that matter) is that the figures are just for the lawyers! There is no figure for support staff in consultancy or redundant in any of the firms?
Can you read anything into this? I mean todays news on the job losses at Nissan didn’t just total the managers or engineers, but all staff. Why are the numbers from KM, facilities, the secretarial teams or IT not of any interest to readers of The Lawyer?
After all it’s not as if it’s because there has been zero job losses in these areas is it.
Some of the comments on the Clifford Chance post make interesting reading, obviously a few of them from support staff http://www.thelawyer.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=136200&d=415&h=417&f=416

a bit after the horse bolted but support staff are given a passing mention here.
