Bosses at Tesco Bank have been criticised for announcing plans to cut more than 200 jobs - while also booking a 'laughologist' to support workers' mental health.

Around 221 jobs will be lost at offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh - 5% of the total workforce - after the supermarket-owned lender announced a series of cuts to staff last week.

Most of the roles are expected to be lost at the Edinburgh office on South Gyle Crescent. Workers are said to be furious after a redundancy update on Monday was bookended with the news that Dave Keeling, a professional trainer and comedian, was booked for the Edinburgh office in October.

Keeling is described as the 'lead happiness consultant' at professional training firm Laughology. Staff who had just been told their jobs were at risk have been encouraged to travel at their own expense see the 'laughologist', with a prize to win a day's holiday or a giftcard also up for grabs during the event.
