Leaving without notice

[Jabberwocky]

Continual conflict is the capitalist mantra - the aim of every company is to generate more profit than anyone else - resources are finite - therefore so is wealth - the easiest way to generate wealth is to take it from someone else - so you screw the employees, renege on contracts, bend the laws, bribe the polititians. Call it want you want - customer service, influencing, networking - it's really all exploitation and coercion riddled with hubris and corruption.

You dont really have much idea of how to influence people do you Denny?
A lot of the subtleties of customer service, influencing and networking were never included in jour Genes were they? Everything is a black and white quid pro quo environment of continual conflict is it not?

Unfortunately, your misuse of the word 'influence' can easily be translated to 'muddying the waters' with the intention to confuse and manipulate to your own advantage to avoid conflict and encourage conformity. I suspect that your post is merely a wind up because the phone isn't ringing or you didn't get past the Director's PA this morning.

The best way to influence someone is to tell it to them straight. Whether someone accepts your advice or now is then down to them but it should never be down to a respondent's inability to communicate clearly, concisely and accurately.

That's why recruitment thrives - it's not down to the 'invisible hand' as you put it, instead it's because recruiters have mastered the art of selling fresh air to the wind. Unfortunately, we don't all see the benefits of making a living that way that much less see the 'added value' to either end-clients or contractors.

Bang on. Just as religion is the 'opium of the masses', recruiters are the opium of the ignorant and misinformed contractor. It's our job to raise their collective consciousness on forums such as these and put people like DA and other saviours of pro-capitalism and exploitation in their place

It is so refreshing to meet someone on here with a bit of insight. DA has a very limited world view - what is good for him is good for everyone else. It is the ideology of the pig at trough. What I try and do on here is provide a little common sense, a little balance.

Interesting posts JW,its refreshing to read something thought provoking as opposed to some of the hysterical inflamatory drivel of late.

I have had some concerns over DA too recently, I note that he contradicted his icon Mrs Thatcher in his assertion that Blair was correct to go to War with Iraq on the basis of the WMD fiasco, Thatcher claimed that she would have rejected the WMD case as there was no scientfic basis for it.

His reply was conspicous by its absence.

Perhaps he is becoming a bit of a Blairite.

Who knows ?

Advertising con you
Into thinking you're the one

That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won

Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

Alf, going back. Your assertion that Blair acted illegally in going to war on the basis of false information re WMD and therefore being guilty of war crimes, murder or whatever lacks consistency. My point was that Churchill had (by your logic) no right to go to war against Germany given that Germany had made it clear that they did not want war with the UK. Churchill then made a case (purely conjecture) to persuade Britain that it needed to engage in a war that killed millions of people. Likewise Thatcher; what on earth was she doing committing to war on behalf of people who are not British living thousands of miles away.
You like to draw your moral equivalence arguments but you cannot have it both ways both ways. You say that Hamza has done nothing worse than Blair has, fine, but your simplistic argument extends that accusation to any world leader who has committed its country to any sort of war.

And what does that mean?
