To be honest though if you do it right contracting can be the best of both worlds.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

There are a lot of very good public sector workers out there. There would be more if we made them accountable and allowed them to be paid their worth. Instead the liberals bang on about how wonderful these "poor hardworking people " are thus making them feel underpriviliged and hated.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

As all professional private sector jobs are going to be outsourced, our destiny is to work for the public sector, looking after each other's needs.
HTHHard Brexit now!

OK - I admit it a friend of mine who is recruiting for a consultancy was sent on a spying mission to check out Cr@p-Gemini's (btw: they run the HMRC website) SAP recruitment fair last night - the head of sector was adamant that the whole of government work will be outsourced to India.
India is the future he said .. the funny thing is almost 95% of applicant who came to the fair are Indians. I drank the free wine and ate all the free food and got the gift bac (had a free memory stick in it) and left.
Anyway my point is all govenment work is to be outsourced too.Comment

I am in one of the big consultancies and the standard practice seems to be to bag multi million pound contracts and then get them done cheaply in India unless the customer absolutely insists that work has to be done in UK.Comment

In the past I've seen many permies in the private sector with this sort of attitude - the hours of nine-to-five are only a sort of penance in order to pick up their paycheck. Maybe I'm wrong but I just assumed it is more widespread in the public sector.
For people to write off a third of their waking life seems bizarre, although in most cases I guess they don't know how to change it, and those in cushy numbers in the public sector aren't going to get the kick up the arse they need to find out.Comment

All the civil servants on the IT support section here are moving sideways into other civil service posts rather than be outsourced by the 'Atlas consortium' (EDS mainly) as they don't want to lose their pensions and other benefits.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
