      I'm turning down any extension to return to the land of the oppressive, over intrustive, surveillance society.

        the Benes invoicing radar says there's an IT recession coming.

        Batten down the hatches, implement 'whatever it takes' mode and use it when applying for contracts.

        Looking at the headcount on this forum today, I wonder how many of us will still be here this time next year ?

        Good luck everybody, we're gonna need it.

        Milan.
        If even milan had managed to realise that, then it must be really true.

        Well, it's time to act as any other italian real man..... (go back to parents ).
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

            us .Netters will ride out the storm

            the rest may not

            the big companies running .Net will always need blaggers like us to tell them we are keeping the ship afloat

                So here comes the question how "liquid" are your assets? Ca$$h or property or stocks?

                I fear that this one will NOT be like 2003 and playing by the same rules will be WRONG. This one is the new GREAT DEPRESSION...

                You heard it here first!!
                The rest is silence...

                    And what's your termination clause? nobody is secure, we are all hanging on in there.

                      The permies at clientco are useless. I left for 6 months in 2006 - took me 6 months to trace down all the stupid bugs, memory leaks etc.

                      If I go I will be better off personally. And they will be worse off.
