Unfortunately they don't always go straight out the door.... I once worked on site where a bloke was basically sidelined completely no one ever asked or expected him to actually "do" anything...... but he still turned up every day and invoiced every week and got renewals......
He out stayed me and several others...... I guess from his perspective he "fitted in" pretty well........

I have worked on site with Morse. Their guy was clueless, cribbed off previous work done by someone else. Knew the theory but f*** all about the real world. Rip off merchants.

UK firms feel they are paying through the nose for IT contractors and it is hindering their own staff development
Edit: I've worked at plenty of places with talented permies (I'm sure others here have too). The companies that complain they have staff lacking in skills have surely only one place they can look to blame (ie themselves).Last edited by MrMark; 17 March 2009, 18:28.

There was a group of us in a place and I they pissed the client off, we got stuck in the middle and left to take the ill feeling. Mainly the client's fault but Morse could have handled it far better. They convinced the client to take on a group of developers when they knew there was no work so we ended siting about doing nowt. I think they sacrificed a long term relationship for short term gains. I was told to monitor log files for a few weeks, just ended up not doing it.
