I used to read a number of Project Management and Contractor blogs, but I thought it would be a good idea to get an RSS feed for a number of sites and highlight new blog articles on a daily basis.

AWR
AWR
You misunderstand. I am not looking for a payrise, but the day rate will be reduced by 10% if I do choose to opt-out of AWR.
My contract is to my company and not me as an individual and it has a named representative as a starting point (quote: "the initial person engaged by the...
I have just been told that if I opt out of AWR in my current contract, my payrise from earlier this year will be revoked (about 10%).

I stopped using the first company and started to use a new company...

In my opinion, get the Transformer Prime. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and it just seems to get better every day I am using it.
I have ample storage with 32GB on board, but then there is the additional micro-SD, standard SD and...

Get the ASUS Transformer Prime. Amazing tool for your business. Even comes with a keyboard for use in meetings. Amazing bit of kit. I got mine from PC World and it was delivered the next day. A bit pricey, but... "the company paid".
