    I happened to see all the contractor-replacement permies being interviewed. Kind of gave the game away!

        I'll keep a spot warm for you, could do with the company. Been here three weeks now and that market just keeps getting worse. Rates for some jobs have halved in the last couple of months.

          I've been benchwarming for a few months, beginning to wonder if I was a bit rash taking a break when I did. Warchest can stand another 12 months though.

          Noticable that advertised rates are somewhat down from what they were.

            I've been working it out, I think I can do 10 months at a push. Fingers crossed I don't need to...

                me too, possibly. That's when my current contract ends.
