Camerons battles backlash from controversial outsourcing deal

That's fine, 'Toughen Up', but the problem Camerons faces is that it doesn't offer the pay, prestige, work/life balance or quality work to counterbalance the impact of the change in attitude. The poster who worked there between 2004-7 summed it up well in my opinion: used to be a great place to work but the question is why you would choose to work there now that it's both well off the MC in terms of prestige/quality of work but also not a brilliant place to work. I honestly believed that it was one of the City's best-kept secrets up until about 12-18 months ago as the work and pay are decent but it was relatively relaxed and collegiate. That's gone now so its 'USP' has gone too. Weston came in promising to push the firm to the next level in terms of prestige and profitability, and you never know what the next few years will bring, but the transition from cuddly also-ran to Silver Circle contender isn't an easy one and people will get bruised along the way. The question is whether he can get things moving before the better people all leave!
