IBM cutting rates
Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishing -
Working 17+ hours per day?According to IT Jobs Watch, IT contractors at IBM GTS in the UK make an average daily rate of £425 and an average hourly rate of £24.95.
Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1t -

2 different rate definitions. Daily rate != Hourly rate * number of hours. Different 'types' of contractors, usually daily raters earn more but the implication is that they might be expected to work longer but not charge any extra.Originally posted by RasputinDude View PostHow does that work then?Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.Comment

That's my take on it. Seems odd though, it must mean they pay people on hourly rates quite a tulip amount in comparison to those on daily rates.Originally posted by doomage View Post2 different rate definitions.

I always find it pays to not work for companies that always seem to head the rate cutting queue ie Barcrap, IBM and the like.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

Makes a change. Normally they just shove all the contractors onto 3 weeks furlough about this time of year. Or.... maybe they will do that as well. Believe it's written into the contracts these daysComment

Don't all contracts have this? MOO?And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

IBM are the worst service company I have ever had to engage with (yes, worse then Fuijitsu). Wouldn't even entertain a contract with these guys.Originally posted by d000hg View Post______________________
