The best way to illustrate to HMRC what Lack of Moo means

[_V_]

Shirley HMRC had to do this, otherwise they'd be accused of hypocrisy. They'll just hire more permies which is probably how the public sector should operate. The high levels of contractors they use is worrying really... bad organisation. Contractors should fill the gaps, not be the bulk of your workforce.

But all the permies left to be contractors, so there are no permies.

They'll have a Press Gang waiting outside the next CUK Christmas do, coshing people as they leave and hauling them off to permiedom in the Civil Service

HMRC likely started it first by making redundant their older more expensive workers. Others who had marketable skills seeing the threat of redundancy with a tulip pay off would then leave.

"No we're not. No MOO, you see. We're fecking off right now..."

Erm... What has MoO got to do with it?

Haven't you read Tolley's IR 35 Defence Strategies? Haven't you read HMRC's Employment Status Manual?

Are you cut out to be a contractor?

Here's a piece about MOO for BrilloPad and everybody else who doesn't know:

Absolutely nothing, but I didn't want to spoil his fun. It's still a good story though.

[woohoo]

Won't they just use this as an excuse to get in a consultancy firm and hire a load of Indians?

Of course they will, and they'll end up with a giant clustershag. And nobody will be willing to help dig them out of it. A scenario which will of course be widely repeated across the public sector. What's the betting they blame brexit...
