Reply to: UNBOOMED - public sector client :-(

Maybe then..... The government place I work is self-funding apparently. Maybe they are skint then. Lot of furloughed staff...

Land Registry, or Companies House. Can't think of any other self-funding agencies

A large Public Sector entity near me has been cancelling a lot of projects over the last two months. I met up with a senior chap from a supplier at a BBQ last weekend who tells me that cutbacks are happening all over the government as the furlough scheme and other pandemic related high-cost items have left the finances out of control.

Probably going to be dry there for quite a while now.

They were inside gigs anyway.

I suspect you know exactly where psycho is working then as he's been inside for years.

Covid passport scheme?

Had a phone interview with an Indian agency for this earlier this year, and as a tech test they wanted me to code a complete Django web app to output and input data while they watched me actually working on it on a shared screen. Decided it was a complete piss take, intended to weed out all except other Indians, and put the phone down.

Odd they were recruiting for more people a few weeks ago.

Well, I'd probably better not name the client specifically but who knows?

COVID maybe? Not sure. But its not like a public sector entity has lost money during all of this...

bankrupt council?

Maybe I'll give them a shout. Swansea is a bit of a trek mind - England is closer for me.

This is the advantage of owning a caravan, but you'll need to put the wheels back on.

You've mentioned DVLA in the past so there is little point not revealing it now.

Nah not me. Its not them.

To be fair in this weather I am in short PJ bottoms (bought a job lot for days as well) but I shower first - they are so comfortable!

Unfortunately my chest isn't quite as good as Daniel Craig so I wear T shirts.

Some days I dont shower till about 4pm. Minging I know.
