    & if you want security you're in the wrong job

    & it's in Scotland so I care even less

    & I'm a shareholder so I applaud this decision

      Turned down a 6 month extension in July, Thank fook.

      StandardLife use a company called Larsen & Toubro.

      They provide a second rate supply service.
      Constantly fking thinga up, delays and totally fkin useless........
      Conned the Head of SLAC IT on a flying visit after he fell for the polished ashtrays etc.....he soon go the bullet.

      THe have hired a couple of guys that got booted out of Widows to restructure I.T.
      They left Widows decimated and a tulip hole going nowhere, SL is soon to follow.

                    New guy at the helm of SL seems determined to shake the company up according to my
                    brother in law who works at SL.

                      My experience over here is that lots of outfits have seen the light and are bringing IT capabilities back in house.

                      Certainly no shortage of work right now.
