It was a really bad time for all in the banking sector. We were suddenly public enemy number one, being blamed for everything, whereas in reality we were suffering as much as everyone else, probably even more
I was made redundant in late 2009, but I'd had enough by then, and I never wanted to work at Lloyds anyway!
I was able to take a pension as part of my redundancy settlement, and have now got a part time job in the charity sector.
It has turned out positively for me, and my former colleagues have found jobs if they wanted them.some have opted for full retirement
But I wouldn't want to relive the years 2007 to 2009!Early retired - 18th December 2014
