[DieScum]

Mine have fired. 5% headcount reduction.

Neither at the moment, too soon to tell.

They're one of the big financials who are not in trouble.

I don't want to jump on the bandwagon, but...where's the AndyW option? Where's the static option? Where's the they fired some, realised they didn't have enough resources to complete the project, so hired some option?

And you call this a poll!?

[voodooflux]

Both.

Hiring ATM, clientco needs some PM's ASAP

[BA to the Stars]

AndyW is my client co

[Mich the Tester]

Both at the same time. Firing onthe maintenance side, hiring on the dev side. Next year of course they'll have so much new stuff in production it'll be the other way around.

[javacoder]

They fired me : but rest seems ok.

[BrilloPad]

Where is the andyw option?

last week clientco got rid of 100 contractors

[backlight]

4 perms and 9 contractors gone yesterday...

[Toolpusher]

I'm not allowed to vote yet as I'm still on probation (being new and all, although it's only this logon that's new!), but my clientco is firing big time.

At the beginning of the year, the whole client IS department numbered well over 900. We are currently just below 700 now, and the insiders say that the target by the end of the fiscal year (31/3/09) is 400.....

[d000hg]

Neither. I am hiring though.

[VectraMan]

Mine seem to be hiring. Having said that, I've heard of lots of high level budget planning meetings going on in the last week, so you never know.

re-organizing (firing) and running cost cutting projects.
Boomed as someone has to implement all the changes from the projects and re-organizations.
