Wow Karl, your CV must be a work of art...

Did you invent txt-spk? :-)


I work for Openreach the engineering section of BT and i have over the last year to 2 seen a drop in business being done. Not as many people want lines, not many need fixing as the quality of the network especially in our area is good. I have seen many contractors and agency staff laid of over the past couple if years and pretty much saw something like this coming. Anyhow the idea of contractors and agency is there for reason to be able to give and lay of easy hence why they don't have full time contracts. I have been a agency worker before so can understand but this is the real world and the company has to do what it needs to make sure the future is good. One last thing what is BT in business for the same for MS the same for Tesco thats right to make money why would they do it otherwise, if you are going in to business for yourself you want to make money when the times are good you employee more people when times are bad you lay off people thats the way and always will be.

As usual selfish thinking, when big corporate businesses have more impact, they should conteplate the consequences for the economy.

Maybe in the long run they will lose money, due to the fact they agitate the recession. 
Alas, they only see the quick fix.
