On the bench?

It may not be allowed but who is checking? and if they are checking what is going to be done about it?

Policing this is more trouble than it is worth.

We are all small businesses so we should be able to look out for ourselves. It is the agents job to con us and our job not to fall for it.

3 weeks and counting ... although being kept busy with the toddler and baby ...

Having been through the previous downturn on 2000/1, I think this is going to be worse!

Only if you're crap!

Things may be bad in this country, why not try abroad?

I always say the downturns just affect the crap coders while I have a gig. When I lose my job I change my tune.

Are you a permie?

During the past two recessions I contracted abroad.

I did say gig in the first part.

I had a job through last 2 recessions without needing to go abroad.

Not if we had an enormous database holding all details of every job ever advertised ever. Come on Government, these ideas don't grow on trees you know.

Why do say its worse, I agree that the ads on job sites are much fewer, but I think cuz in those days agents were posting fictional roles, I have a feeling this is not allowed now ... OK someone correct me if the above is total BS.

I think there are less duplicate ads for the same role now. Last 2 agents I talked to seemed to have the roles exclusively.

Also I have seen a reduction in the number of ads that just look like made up positions to harvest CVs.
