    So 2/3rds of you are working then! Guess the market is ok.

    Maybe the next poll should be how many of you think you will be renewed?



    Strange logic? How many people are hanging on to a crap role because they know there's nothing else? How many have taken a rate cut? How many are taking roles on reduced rates sometimes half what they were? How many have gone perm or are looking to go perm?

    No it’s not OK.

    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

        Great idea for a poll!

            I have just come back from holiday, strange message from an agent to contact them. I think my contract was been traded while I was away. I was on the transfer list, but then I was told it was cancelled., guess they changed their mind. Wounder how much the new agent will want to cut my rate by

              The market will get worse as people roll off contracts and fill up the bench.
