You want to try being on a public sector contract, the agencies are truly shocking. Sickness is off the chart and the standard of work so poor you end up just doing everything yourself....

What I saw wasn't IR35 killing contracting but the boom in agencies being brought in to deliver. It's must easier (but usually more expensive) for the end client to manage this relationship and also have a scapegoat too!
