UK MD is a genius

Pros

The UK MD is truly our saviour. The perfect blend of humble, intelligent and strategic. Most of all he’s a leader among men - you’ll regularly see him stopping to smile and engage his workforce in the corridors, or learn more about their roles in the kitchen. While he cares about building a great culture, he’s strategically spot on too. It took a genius like him to identify that we’d get more customers if we offered crypto and commission-free stocks. He’s spot on when he subtly denounces the short-sightedness of those of us who worked here when no one ever thought about such a novel idea! As for leveraged trading - where we make 95% of our money - it’s a dying sport. He’s right to let those products perish while we plough all our resources elsewhere. As he keeps reminding us, our platform and app are useless anyway so why bother flogging a dead horse that only makes £1 billion in revenue? Soon we’ll be making far more than that on commission free stocks anyway! All hail Healy!

Cons

As someone else said, it wasn’t always this way. Breon Corcoran might want to do a bit of reading on how to win friends and influence people. He’s sacked anyone who knew what IG stood for and replaced them with plants who come in and do what he has been saying at town halls all along anyway. It’s interesting that Breon implemented a divisional structure - handing power to regions - only for all the key roles to be filled by people he already knew and who enact everything he was saying all along. Meanwhile the brands and product feel diverges further across regions every day. I can’t think of a single successful brand that operates this way.
