LBG Rate Cut?

[portseven]

Anyone know about a 10% rate cut for LBG

You mean there is one on the table now or that fact anyone with a hole in their bum knows it will happen at some point?

Nearly a year to the day.... Whodathunkit.

It does appear Roger Sinclair's list is woefully out of date though as the above cut isn't on his page and I'm sure there have been others since 2012.

You can delete a post you created you know...

OP, make sure you send a mail to the one on the page so they can document the cut.

Yes, thanks.

I favour editing them with an explanatory note.

Happens all the time just does not get reported as much unless it affects a lot of contractors. Computacenter are taking over gradually most if not all the IT support but Accenture & a few others who favour using IT workers imported from the far east for their ability to work for a low salary & not complain about it as it gets the name on their CV!

Ah Computacenter. What a great company: despite year-on-year profits we had a nice wage freeze that lasted the entire time I worked for them. Thankfully I got TUPE'd to a plucky Scottish outfit that actually valued its employees when they pissed-off the company I was based at and lost the managed service contract.

I never worked for them but I know they are getting most of the London Banking support contracts now. Banks seem to favour using them instead of employing experienced contractors direct so the contractor gets about 25% of the rate I.E next to nothing £100-150 a day is not uncommon via them right now.

I remember their cull of Indian people 20 years ago, when the test centres figured out that the same bloke was turning up to take everyone's MCSE.

In hindsight, Computacentre were the big warning of things to come,.
