Although I do remember a time when you were rather scathing of AtW's endeavours.

Back in the day yes. But full marks - he overcame his initial difficulties and proceeded to success.
Also you can't give people an easy ride ...

And in other news low IQ, nutty losers insult a self-made millionaire
Isn't that the spirit of Brexit through and through?

Does one of them proofread your business communications before they are sent out?
(Unlike your CUK posts )

A number equal to his IQ.

None. How many strawberry picking robots are in your company?

Is that Rothschild-speak for "actually having to stop getting away with paying a pittance"?

How much your business is paying its employee(s)?

[AtW]

Aren't we very close to just having strawberry picking robots instead?

There is a massive skills shortage at the high end of the market (I'm not talking at the bottom with thousands of low skilled PMs and BAs fighting it out with the ICTs).
The UK does not produce enough good STEM MScs and PhDs.
The best ones are swallowed by the Googles, Facebooks, pharmas etc and there is a huge shortfall.
In the end if the staff cannot be found firms will move abroad, but for now the salaries and rates for such people are high and rising.

At the lower end there's no rise at all, there's too much supply of mediocrity.

This thread is full of real life business people who hire a lot of staff other than themselves.

Oh wait...

It's Armageddon. We have to pay the strawberry pickers more.


But is this worth another release of Project fear ? Oh go on then. But only a minor version number:


PROJECT FEAR: Release 2.1.371.33

Contributor: The Guardian/CIPD

Enhancements implemented:

- "Supply Shock! The number of people moving to the UK from other EU countries has fallen to its lowest level for 5 years."


So shocking. Will the Guardian be responding with a pay rise for those 18k interns who brought us the story? I guess it depends on the response to its front page pleading campaign (".. as little as £1 !").

no they're still getting away with it

Businesses continue to pay a pittance in spite of shortage of workers

never mind, if you read behind the headlines what is actually happening is companies are holding down wages of British workers and offering immigrants more to entice them to come.

[LondonManc]

Companies are suffering from a “supply shock” as fewer EU citizens come to the UK, and companies struggle to fill vacancies, according to a survey of 2,000 employers.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) said the number of applicants per vacancy had fallen since last summer across all levels of skilled jobs, and said shortages were forcing many companies to raise wages.
