Am I correct to say that contract situation in Sep 2013 is really bad?

[Eirikur]

Seems to be picking up for me this week a lot of calls an 1 offer on the table, potentially a second one on its way

[cojak]

You weren't trying. Last one of those rang me back to rant down the phone a day later. I think the paid for comment on his facebook page that his scam had resulted in the suicide of a person I linked to didn't go down well with his parents....

Yes I can be that much of a ba***rd

Impressive!

[Mephisto]

Dead this week and last. Only just starting to look at roles and start applying. Ignoring nearly all of the roles so far due to either rate or the wrong role. I think I have made 2 applications in the last 2 weeks......

Can all suddenly change though...

Are you still at Radbroke? I nearly returned twice last year but was scuppered due to two separate idiotic reasons. On this year's rounds I've not even had an interview!

Don't remember p*****g anyone off in 2011 when I was last there though the project we were working on was less than popular

Bearing in mind the OP posted this in October he would be incorrect in saying that. What he should have said is that the contract situation in Sep WAS really bad

I thankew

Left there for a really dingy place for 4 months (which I had not issues cutting my ties off with) and then came back for another tour of duty.... Been here over a year and have a few weeks left on contract

You fallen victim to the 24 month / 40% rule yet?

I get the sense that we are mostly surplus to requirements now, what with all the immigration and offshoring.

We are not wanted anymore; a generation (or two) on the scrapheap in favour of cheap foreign labour.

I wish we could establish separate enclaves, away from the older generations and their slaves, but I guess we're forced to continue living in this prison.

Didn't admin say we are allowed to use the winker icon in Prof forums where it is a valid comment?

Never read such utter nonsense in my life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and blaming others.
