Anyone at Barclays?

You are aware that you are actually working for a building society?

The Nationwide are no better than the banks - in terms of treating the permies like crap.
last year they got rid of all permie developers and replaced then with Crappcenture offshore folk. I give it 3 years before they realise what a bad idea that was...

I am sure they will "realise" long before then but I guess 3 years is a realistic time before they tacitly admit it, even if only by jumping on another short term bandwagon.

Worked for Barclaycard at the height of the financial crisis, banks were falling over and I made a good profit out of it. At that point in my department of about 200 people 90 of them were contractors.
The banking crisis was a good time for contractors in Barlacys

Funny how short sighted they are isn't it really, it's always a case of we can say X amount if we do this but they never go on to say that over a 3-5 year period it's going to cost X amount more
