It is fine when wfh to flex you hours....but this is an office role so you can't turn up as and when ....that is the minimum set hours for the team...then the commute is a drive of at least an hour so leaving home say 7.30 maybe a little earlier and then getting home on a good run 6.30 at earliest....I think that is along day ...wfh it doesn't matter but if you add in at least 2 hours plus commuting !

Doubt it will come to fruition as so many applying...

Sounds like a pretty grim role. But in reality will it really pan out as bad as it looks on paper. In my experience most places are more flexiable than they document. Most places I've worked have been fairly relaxed on what hours are actually done as long as the work is getting done. I know personally my main aim is delivering the time it takes is irrelevant. Is the role 100% office based? I'd imagine if its that on paper even that may be up for negotation when you start. If not then I'd say this sounds like a dog of a place to work.

The norm now is that people with 20yrs of experience are benched for 12m+, clients / employers have a list of requirements which covers responsibilities of at least 3 senior roles and they are paying 50% of "normal" rates or less. So yes, the landscape has definitely changed and I think strict working hours are the least of our worries.

I am more than well aware dsc ....I am one of these people 25 years plus experience and it is dire!

Strict working hours combined with long daily commutes plus rubbish pay are all part if it....even allowing for all of this I doubt it will happen as volume of applicants so it is pretty grim...how did it go so badly wrong for contractors!?!
