I think there are enough cheap people: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/0...ty_pay_survey/

the salaries can go lower, there is only a minimum wage and you can work round that.

Soy Boy - is that like actually insulting someone based on their (potential but wrong) milk choice for their mochachocochino?

Fookin snowflake.

Heard it for the first time only the other day, and now it's popping up all over the place like spring daffs.

Just shows how quickly these memes (if that's the right word) spread!

I assumed it was a disparaging reference to veggies and, even worse, vegans.

Go ahead and make my day soy boy.

Don't really have that problem here in the IT sector unlike the UK which has to import lots of experts due to the dire lack of skilled people

Compounded by the fact that the Universities are churning out Grads who just want to be Managers, after completing six months probation. No-one wants to work in Infrastructure, since it means having to learn the fundamentals from the Old Boys who aren't as diplomatic as the Snowflakes would like.

Keep it like that for a few more years until the New Tories manage to merge with New Labour, and I'll be in sweets, just long enough to not care any longer!

Yeah, but then you can blame it all on the migrants...

What perks besides the money do you get on a contract hit anyway?

Working in plain sight has to be a plus.

[Eirikur]

Contracting in the UK is dead. Paid the same as permies without the perks. Why would you bother?

Tax man chasing you every hour of every day.

cheaper living costs + higher income available elsewhere
