    Permies dropping like flies

    Funny place I am at:

    6 months ago there was a team of 4 just before I joined

    - 2 weeks before I joined the main techie guy left.

    - 1 week after I joined another guy left (happened to be a waste of space anyway)

    - today the 3rd and final guy got a job offer.

    That means it's just me and the manager left!

    Not sure of this is good or bad. Ah well just invoice and carry on.

        That means you have a manager all to yourself. You lucky devil you.

        On a more serious note, 2015 is the year that technical people change jobs and wages increase for permies.

            Haha!

            Bear in mind the two guys had already left or put the notice in before they knew I existed. Guy next to me managed to put up with me for 6 months..... Guy has some serious patience!

                    Why is that then? I imagine you are making your usual assumptions. All the work I am doing is project work rather than BAU.... They are bringing perms in to do the other stuff.
