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 Johnson -
Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostTell me about it...
It's the same in the South West, I've been benched for 8 weeks now but the only roles I see are paying less than I have ever taken and that includes being a complete ‘noob’ 5 years back, I thought about doing numpty rollout work to keep going but even that is thin on the ground.
I just feel disillusioned by it all these days.
i now have a small contract which finishes in 2 weeks; rubbish IT ADMIN - setting up 2000 odd SAP accounts and a few Roles which is soo MUNDANE it is unbelievable!
Im looking at anything at the moment to keep me going and hoping the company budgets are set free in the new financial year to employ me and pay my bills! there are a few rollout positions out there but it seems like their are plenty in my shoes who are looking and they are all flooding the agencies with CV's.
Do you ever get that sinking feeling when you wonder what the benefits of contracting are any more!!
It doesnt help when the agencies ring you tryin to get a peek of your ................ "I might have a position for you but i NEED TWO REFEREES........ so i dont have to talk to you anymore and can tout for business at all your previous contracts!"
LOVE IT!!!Comment
