Reply to: There's an IT recession coming

Recession hasn't filtered through to my public sector clients yet. Mind you, on the bench and looking for 2 weeks - reasonably optimistic, though.

Same here too, had a few agency calls lately that seemed positive.

What a waste of resource this thread is. I'm always amazed at people who want to make predictions about the future or negative comments about our prospects.

My life's fantastic at the moment - I have a roof over my head, food on the table, spare money to spend. Next year I might be struggling to find a job, or I might get run over by a bus or win lotto - who cares?

You sit there worrying about what may or may not happen down the road, I'm gonna carrry on enjoying my present existence, and generally being happy.

Well lads,

the Benes invoicing radar says there's an IT recession coming.

Batten down the hatches, implement 'whatever it takes' mode and use it when applying for contracts.

Looking at the headcount on this forum today, I wonder how many of us will still be here this time next year ?

Good luck everybody, we're gonna need it.

People will always need backups.

A recession coming? Really? Now theres some insightful analysis. I wonder if the media are going to pick up on this and start running some economy based stories for a change ?

And what's your termination clause? nobody is secure, we are all hanging on in there.

The permies at clientco are useless. I left for 6 months in 2006 - took me 6 months to trace down all the stupid bugs, memory leaks etc.

If I go I will be better off personally. And they will be worse off.

My contract just extended until Oct next year.

So here comes the question how "liquid" are your assets? Ca$$h or property or stocks?

I fear that this one will NOT be like 2003 and playing by the same rules will be WRONG. This one is the new GREAT DEPRESSION...

You heard it here first!!

It cracks me up, there's a recession coming and dip sticks on here in cloud cookoo land are opening materialistic threads about stuff they dream of owning

You need dreams to get through the nightmare (if you base your happiness on wealth and materialism).

Benes invoicing ltd is signed up until middle of next year

just the rest of them I am worried for

us .Netters will ride out the storm

If even milan had managed to realise that, then it must be really true.

Well, it's time to act as any other italian real man..... (go back to parents ).

I'm turning down any extension to return to the land of the oppressive, over intrustive, surveillance society.
