    Similar things were said in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

        However in a capitalist dictatorship sales and marketing become the market. Goods have little utility on their own, but sales and marketing brainwash people into believing they provide utility. Traditional values like hard work, creativity, honesty and integrity are abandoned; it is all smoke and mirrors and exploitation and manipulation. This is world in which we live in.

        DA is just one cockroach that feeds on this distortion. Deep down he knows it is a lie and so he feels compelled to defend it. But he is swimming in a sea of his own excrement, and singing "Come on, jump in and enjoy the warmth".
        To be fair to DA (and I mostly hate agents) he has often said "if you don't want to use an agent then dont". I do wish more large employers would have internet sites where contractors could apply for jobs directly. I mostly work(or not) for IBs and get a few gigs by personal contacts. Its annoying to have to go onto jobserve when things dry up.

          My point EO is that the people who say let's be practical have a vested interest in things remaining the way they are. All this whinging from the right is a just a smokescreen for theor own consumption.

          All I ask is that people acknowledge that DA is just another turd on the flotsam of recruitment consultancy.

            In my experience 50% of agents are useless, incomptent morons. But so are 50% of contractors.

              90 % of the work I have had has been via an agency. I couldnt run my business without them so I too am 'being practical'
              Why you have to bring the Nazis into it I just dont know. I wonder if Stalin ever felt the need to be practical.

                  I am PMing you and will ask you to withdraw this remark formally on this board.
                  Unless you put up a proper argument to support the diatribe of nonsense that you spouted about the Telegraph (who's article you then go on to agree with) then it is only reasonable to assume that your anti telegraph rant is based on ignorance, envy and or stupidity. Your own point about elitism is not unreasonable. So why ruin it by making yourself look so silly with your unsubstantiated rant?

                  I am also being serious.

                    DA,
                    you do know she is now blubbing in the "powder room", and her mascara is ruined?
                    I hope you are pleased with yourself!

                      I agree.

                      First I thought you were being stupid.

                      Now I know, thanks to you, that you are being 'seriously' stupid.
