    Can you imagine how they're going to manage when eventually the good times roll again?

    This is the very first time that I can remember when a client is so dire that this discretion/confidentiality has been discarded. And I have it from other sources that it is deserved.

    And since daviejones is well out of it, the 'firing for this nonsense' nonsense doesn't really apply, does it?

    I'm sure he's not to be too upset that he won't be invited back to that particular client, either...

    Hey Sunrise! - you wouldn't happen to be:

    1) An agent struggling to get anyone to go there, are you?
    2) A recruiting manager struggling to get any recruiting agencies to work for you, are you?

    In either case - good luck with that!!

    Funny thing is...

    That role was £450 in the Summer 0f 2007.

    Whatever he is he has breathed new life into a three month old thread and reminded us all of the situation.

It's highly unprofessional, it paints us all in a bad light where in fact most people want to do the best they can AND there are plenty of people willing to take your job in the current economic climate.

    I would fire anyone on the spot for posting this type of nonsense.

    Numpty, a very happy person to be an ex-customer of that appalling bad excuse for a shambles, VirginMedia. May their shareholders rot in poverty.

    If we're talking about posting nonsense you should fire yourself...
