The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
Public sector organisation I'm contracting at is extending all IT contractors due for renewal shortly. Things are changing so rapidly that I'll wait till I see the paperwork before getting too carried away.
We're also continuing with hiring lots of permies but slowing things down, mainly because of shortage of people to do interviewing as they are maxed out on BAU work handling current events.
A big unknown for hiring organisations is clearly when staff will be able to work from the office again. Virtually onboarding new starters is obviously more difficult and less desirable, especially for permies.
An ex-colleague of mine started a new senior IT role yesterday, he's trying to come to terms with the fact he won't likely meet his new team for months.Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostIt doesn’t exist yet, in proposal form or otherwise. People are being confused by an opp’n amendment to the Coronavirus Bill (won’t be accepted). The gov’t hasn’t shown its hand on self-employed workers yet, but I think they will be focused on sole traders, not arbitrary handouts via the SA system, but who knows (answer: no one, yet).
@Dhrucku, I don't think you're going to get an answer...Comment
