I was a permie there for 2 months in the late 80's.
Hated it.
It made me go contracting, so thanks Barclays!

Perm to Cont
From what I've seen happening, those permies that apply for contracting positions that are subsequently created within their previous dept, then get preference over someone else that hasn't worked there. They often find out from ex-colleagues. Certainly the case with Barclays, Lloyds TSB and a few others.

Originally posted by TheBigYinJames View PostI doubt it, my experience of the permies at Radders is that they are on a fair old whack of salary for doing not very much at all. Of all entrenched permies, they are th emost entrenched. Many of them are middle-aged women earning second incomes. Loads of them will take early retirement packages.
and won't stop stupid clients from hiring them either.
especially the desperate ones - lets all watch the rates go down

Originally posted by AZZIK View PostI think contract jobs will always be available...lets hope! its the permies that need to worry really - but I reckon out of all those who are made redundant, more than half will see the light and go contracting whilst enjoying their redundancy brass!! Then they will never go back to permie jobs, thus making it hard for us to get a new gig! Thats my theory anyway!

Anyone want to give a fine gal like me an overpaid underworked job?
Anyone?
