Bunch of temp employees

No, it's because they are cheaper. Now, 2 pints of Stella please barman, and make it quick.

An Aussie eh? Bred for Barwork! It's Iiiiiinstinct! Iiiiiiiinstinct!

[Alf W]

That's because their ancestors traditionally spent a lot of time behind bars.

Family?

Who is this guy?
I feel sorry for his family

I think you'll find it's called a troop.

G'Day cobber:

Why was Jesus Christ not born in Australia?

They couldn't find 3 wise men and a virgin!

Now go and trace your anchestors back to the criminals they were, as they probably jumped off the fecking boat.

Well now this is just a suggestion, but isn't it time you all realised that you are in fact a bunch of temp employees. With IR35 & subsequent rulings why would anyone go contracting ? The regime treats you as a temp employee, contracting rates are lousy. Have they gone up in the last ten years ? You never get promoted and have no career. You are stuck being a techie - which is really looked down on these days. Agents are always trying to screw your rate down.
Is it time to admit that contracting isnt worth it ? Here's a suggestion. Leave the country. Mr GB has shagged you sensless. Get out while you still have a few quid in your pocket !

lol I see another retard has escaped.

Ozzie : You have two choices 1. A permy job earning £60k a year and permy hassle or 2. A contract grossing you £175k a year and no permy hassle.

I went contracting as in my last permy role I used to be able to access all HR data, salaries, bonuses etc. You get more shafted as a permy than a contractor, difference is as a permy you dont see it and cant do anything about it. As a contractor you see it and can do something about it.

Ozzies can take UK jobs for one reason, they are better. Now what was it you were saying about market forces ?

No its because they are cheaper, its a well known fact that agents always quote the rate 25% lower to a Auzzies, didnt you know that ? When I recruit I always do that, thought it was normal practice.

[OzzieExpat]

Yeah, and how did the Ozzies do at the cricket then ? Snigger !

[HankWangford]

Lost

Yeah, and how did the Ozzies do at the cricket then ? Snigger !

errr they lost the Ashes

[OzzieExpat]

Lets do some maths

£40 quid an hr may sound fancy.

Take out NI and its about 31


Take out TAx and its about £19 take home.


Plus the hassle of UK contracting. Not exactly paradise is it ?

[OzzieExpat]

By the way, I think - barring sheer luck our ashes form is a bit better.
