Phase 3 will likely involve getting decent contractors back in again when things start to go awry.

Yeah that's how it goes, the question is what is "phase3 - phase2".

Yes now the Polish cleaners are going home, your skills must be in demand.

Oddly enough, the Danish evening class I've been giving this term was mostly Germans. Danes have a 'thing' about Germans, so they gave the job to the foreigner. Not so many Poles, although what there was was serious eye candy.

I've had calls to work: telecoms, banking, insurance, motors and security, all before noon today.

It's boom time I tell ya!

Its interesting that's true at the moment they're sacking the permies to "reduce the headcount" but keeping the contractors.

But apparently that's simply phase 1. Phase 2 is to dump all the contractors.

I heard from some guys I used to work with in the city that 200 permies were made redundant but the contractors were kept until renewal where they would be reviewed to see if they were needed...

That's what I'm hearing, so Finance is bad but "other things" aint too bad.

But then you need expertise in "other things"

Surely most contractors are not industry specific?
