    The Retail Market

    No sign of any downturn here

    Just finished a stint at Asda and now with Tesco and there seems to be plenty of IT project work knocking about. I only went into retail to take a break from Gov't and Banking projects, but now it seems like I might be here for a while. Any of you seeing any major downturn? excluding banking or course.....
    Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

    yeh that's cuz no one wants them if they have a choice - Tesco?? seriously ?? Have you started there yet? If you didn't knwo it Tesco is known to be the worst place to contract at. However, as you said it pays the bills.

      Really?

      I've had no problems here, half way through a 3 month stint, good money, pay on time etc..... what's the problem?

      I do my work, I go home, I get paid. Those are usually all the working condition I ask for.

        Glad to hear that the shelf stacking is working out for you, now can you tell me where the tuna is?

          Wouldn't know, I'm usually too busy collecting the trolleys from the carpark
