Contractor loses out on his 'dream' £1,000-a-week IT role

[VectraMan]

I made a bacon omlette for lunch today (though with hindsight it wasn't really worth the effort putting the bacon in the omlette).

I can only apologise, and would like to buy any muslims reading a pint just to make it clear no offence was intended.

Those of you who sniff at £1000 per week contract at the age of 58 will remember this bloke with envy when you flip burgers in McDonalds to make up the shortfall between your living costs and Govt pension/unemployment benefit...

True, especially that the new wave of talent is gracing our drought land. Sure, you will get some slight hiccups when the bad supervisors cannot recognize true talent or are just jealous, but he can try again next year in more talent friendly hospital, right?

You know pints of orange juice cost more than beer?

Apart from Hunt chap being a twat. Making a racist comment is a criminal offence and clearly his comment wasn't. If someone is falsely accused of a criminal offence; you can sue them for defamation of character.


BTW: The Golden Rule after closing a deal is to keep your mouth shut.

I don't think he's a twat at all, it sounds like Reed have blown this out of all proportion. Is this really a remark that any reasonable person would consider racist or designed to offend?

Lets say he'd got the job and the recruiter had come over to buy him breakfast, what would have happened if he'd asked for a Bacon sandwich then? On the spot dismissal?

If anything this is Reed discriminating against people who eat bacon. I hope they get sued until they squeal like little piggies. It also sounds like the so called senior manager is a knob head.

Serves him right for working for the public sector.
Maybe he'll see sense now, and go private.

Do remember this is the DM.

I think it is most unlikely that the version presented is the whole story.

"I'll buy the bacon sandwiches"
"I don't eat bacon - I'm a Muslim"
.... What comes next?

Well on the one hand you have the DM, and on the other hand some recruitment agents, so the chances are it's all completely made up.
