Some of us get renewed because we don't have to work late on deadline day because we have already finished the work.

No but I am quite good at what I do, know how to schedule work and quickly escalate any problems.

I'm in automation and I'm used to seeing a fair bit of automated warehouse positions, mostly with Amazon. These have now all gone, there's some defence related work, but again, one ad per month maybe. Remarkably quiet...

What if you get given the work in the morning and the deadline is today. Happened to me loads of times.

Anyone else notice an uptick in recruiters on LinkedIn posting that they have been made redundant? Seems to be big inhouse companies.

Yes. Makes sense. Fewer outside roles = less gravy.

No but I have noticed a definite reduction in photos of inappropriately dressed recruiters attending industry award ceremonies and team drinks events.

Why would you be "given" work?

You're supposed to be a senior professional, not a fresh grad.

I can't imagine hiring someone for 600 - 1000 /pd then telling them exactly what to do.

I do find it very difficult to understand how seasoned contractors can come out with utter crap like this.
