Am I glad that I'm a permie! What with the horrible job market and IR35, it's not easy being a contractor at the moment. And now this - Litigation frenzy driving IT contractors under.
Posted to Business by Simon Brunning at September 12, 2003 11:58 AMI'm off to Halfords at lunchtime. One bike, one ladder, one bucket, one sponge, one squegy.
If I were not upon this stage a window cleaner I would be.

I might be pulling my 20 years of experience out of the IT market and into window cleaning.
Fucking idiots, pay peanuts, get monkeys.
Posted by: Stevan Rose on September 12, 2003 03:21 PMTrouble is, the places will be filled. If you can get somone for £20 an hour, why pay more?
Posted by: Simon Brunning on September 12, 2003 03:40 PMWhy indeed? My usual answer is because it will cost significantly more than £20 an hour to fix the mistakes they will make.
