    The IT director at British Gas was a contractor on £2k per day (not sure if he is still there). His main purpose seemed to be to get rid of as many contractors as possible and offshore the work.

    He was previously at Talk Talk and did the same thing there. They are still trying to recover and were voted worst for customer service for 2 years running. His mate got the gig after him and set about onshoring to try and fix the problems. I'm expecting BG to do the same when he goes.

      What a great job.

      One gets paid loads to off-shore and the other gets paid loads to fix his mate's **** ups.

        Exactly what we all said. One gets the gig by showing how he brought down costs by offshoring at previous businesses then the mate goes in and shows how he recovered the business when it had a bad rep.

          They are liars. You don't think anyone actually tells the truth on these do you?

            but yes, it is a specialised area in high demand in a lot of places...lucky sod!

                To be honest , I wouldn't get out of bed for 3k a day.

                I would shoot out like an Orion rocket with a booster rocket up me bum and a chemical vindaloo powered vector controller attached.

                Although when I was a fit young lad, I did star in pornos @ over 3k a day.
                Only lasted three days till all my money(10k) was gone
