My experience over here is that lots of outfits have seen the light and are bringing IT capabilities back in house.

Certainly no shortage of work right now.

That may be your experience, but the trend is clear and that is IT jobs moving overseas ...

Everything going offshore is the word on the street.

New guy at the helm of SL seems determined to shake the company up according to my
brother in law who works at SL.

Turned down a 6 month extension in July, Thank fook.

StandardLife use a company called Larsen & Toubro.

They provide a second rate supply service.
Constantly fking thinga up, delays and totally fkin useless........
Conned the Head of SLAC IT on a flying visit after he fell for the polished ashtrays etc.....he soon go the bullet.

THe have hired a couple of guys that got booted out of Widows to restructure I.T.
They left Widows decimated and a tulip hole going nowhere, SL is soon to follow.

And they could ram their daily huddles where the sun don't shine.

Usual stop/go management - sack the contractors- instant hit on reducing costs, let the permies fook it up , get the contractors back in to fix the fook up......nothing to see here, move along

& if you want security you're in the wrong job

& it's in Scotland so I care even less

& I'm a shareholder so I applaud this decision

The BBC are reporting RBS kicking 3,500 staff out including 1000 in IT.

Good, less public sector workers is what we need.

[Troll]

You don't 'sack' contractors.. duhhhh..

</pedant off>

That aside Troll is right. Barclays is a perfect example where they walked all 700+ contractors off site last Decemeber and now they can't take them back on fast enough.

You fookin pedant
