Jesus. That is dispicable. All they are going to get applying for that are chavs or graduates who stay for 1 month.

Saw an episode of that Spendaholics last night. They had a woman on who seemed to be a freelance project manager though was also said to be earning only 50k per year, in London.

I'd have thought if that was the case it would be better to go permie, unless they meant after tax and IR35 or she was only part time over the course of the year.
