Go Pester someone else: TSB ditches CEO over bank's IT meltdown.

Paul Pester has been booted out of TSB's top office after months of criticism over his handling of the IT chaos that hit the bank this year – but is still expected to take away about £1.7m.

The CEO's departure follows another systems meltdown over the weekend, when a planned four-hour downtime ended up leaving some customers unable to access mobile, online or telephone services for almost two days.

However, non-executive chairman Richard Meddings, who is taking on the role of executive chairman to lead the hunt for the new boss, claimed the bank's IT systems were stable enough that this was the right time for Pester to leave.

    ... Better With Pork Than With The Stew Beef I Actually Used.

    To that end I picked up some hamhocks today.

    When I can get a lift home I'm going to purchase a twenty pound sack each of rice and beans. I'd buy fifty pounds but I only know where to get twenty.

    My left testicle itches but I like broccoli. And I jogged yesterday.

    https://www.amazon.com/Pinto-Beans-50-Pound-Bag/dp/B0098QCYZ6 [amazon.com] Though, they cost $1.39 / lb, so I wouldn't necessarily say that was saving any money. Also, I use Amazon, but I don't like using them. I'd much rather use eBay or a local store. Though, I likely wouldn't buy a 50lb sack of beans from eBay.

    At least parent, unlike TFS ("the fine summary"), gives some hint as to what the heck "TSB" stands for.
