if all the agents die today
all of us will get a 50% rate rise overnight

It's not worth it

Didn't realise Milan was an agent and had gone to hell already.

No - he sold his car (aka his soul) to the Devil.

No, we're all going to Hell. You'll have a special circle of hell which will consist of:

1. Being stuck for eternity with all other agents.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

as long as we can happily burn in Hell as opposed to the boring place you lot are going to end up in.

Let me ask two questions:

1. If there were no recruitment agencies then would this mean that there would be enough engineers to go round?
2. If someone leaves a job after 3 months is it really because of the recruitment agency?

We may all be scumbags and shysters but we are here because that is how the market wants us.

Even nanotechnology in the year 30 billion couldn't manufacture a violin small enough for me to play a lament on for you and your pals.

The problem is that companies (I mean real companies, not your 1 man Ltds...) are too damn lazy to advertise for their resources. They just ship out the work to agencies, who really are just glorified databases full of skilled workers.

If companies started to be more pro-active in their recruitment and advertising, there really would be no need to outsource to agencies.

I met a nice agent once. Then I woke up

[wendigo100]

I like agents.

Erm...

[DodgyAgent]

No, he's too fat - bloated on the blood and bones of poor defenceless contractors.

[DodgyAgent]

I'll take the chance if we can burn you all.

[Old Greg]

Are you trying to suggest that Dodgy weighs the same as a duck?

No, he's too fat - bloated on the blood and bones of poor defenceless contractors.

[Old Greg]

The UK would still be short of 20,000 engineers and there would be no one to hate. A vacuum that would I wager soon be filled by contractors.

I'll take the chance if we can burn you all.
