i Understand toilets and rate Aholes to use badly.

I think the biggest problem here is your total lack of understanding of your industry (which is staggering) and your attitude IMO. I can't even begin to start unpicking the rubbish you have just type above.

It's Easy

Just take out the unnecesary words (see above)

Hewlett Packard has warned of cuts in its UK operation in a global purge that will see it axe 27,000 workers.

The US technology company plans to make the cuts, which amount to 8% of its global workforce of almost 350,000 people, as it struggles for sales in a marketplace increasingly dominated by smartphones and tablet computers.

HP, which has its headquarters in Palo Alto, near San Francisco, California, said the job cuts, along with other measures, should save it £2.2bn

which it would invest in growth areas like "cloud" storage technology.

Tried to get a role with Emc 18 months ago , that included 2 months training in the US.

if i dont move from this spot ,after the initial fanfare of training this training that, i asked what would i be doing after the fabulous training course .

And the answer was swapping out disks in the storage array`s we need people onsite but any changes are done remotely.

complete waste of time and this is EMC ffs.
sounds like turd polishing to me.

Are you talking agents for perm roles or agents for contract roles? Agents very rarely say this, they are on commission so it isn't in their best interests to put you in as low as they can. It is in their interest to get their candidate in but cost isn't the most important factor. Even if they say that you stick the figure you want in and negotiate.[/quote]

This is just laughable. That is ecomonics not IT industry. I am refering to your comment 'My point is everything under a system architect is considered a talented helpdesk monkey'. What a crock of utter tulip.

Instead of moaning yourself in to a hole, how about getting a better, more positive attitude and go research what is out there and do something about it. I don't see common sense at all, just someone with blinkers who can't see the wood for the trees.

'jobs paying no better than working in tesco`s. ' is another comment that is just utterly ridiculous. I don't need to explain further.

Go find a permie board to moan on because this one is obviously not the place for you....

And for the record I will call Troll at this point.

<moan moan cry cry>

Are you actually looking for advice her or just having a whinge about permie life on a contracting forum?

Unemployed - find something else to do for a while, other than behaving inappropriately in the professional fora. TIA.
