Does actually say in the email, "Global IT staff augmentation", so maybe its not affecting non-IT people.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 24 November 2011, 16:21.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

10% cut at Lloyds today for anyone who had an approved exception to the cut last month, contractors to be told today/tomorrow.Comment

I'm glad I decided not to go back to London, rates are getting cut, but it's not getting cheaper to live there.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment

I think I will endeavour an accept rate and change to a 1-2 week notice period change, so I can start looking with a short notice period approach.
Don't get me wrong I would so love to tell them no thanks and leave, but my sensible director, family man head is saying not too.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

May as well make the client do something
