    Literally speaking announcing you have SC clearance is a security breach.......

    I know HP have at least one contract with the Foreign Office if that's any help.

        SC used to be passport to easy street but I'm not seeing much about at the moment.

        Seeing as Gordon is throwing money about left right and centre you'd think he'd loosen the purse string on the government projects that have all but dried up of late.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Here's a short polemic
          About the epidemic of
          Annoying helpdesk staff with their
          Annoying helpdesk faff, and the
          Scripts they have to follow, which are
          Often way too shallow to
          Address specific needs, you see
          Another thing which gets to me
          Are SLAs that take too long
          I'm telling you it's simply wrong
          But that's enough of that
          I've had my little spat
          Aye there's the rub
          I'm off down t'pub

            they, along with FJS, are part of the ATLAS consortium, they have places all over.
            I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

              I used to work there too. HP have something going with the FCO...

              You were based in the CO right?

                Helpdesk is 1st line.

                  I was a contractor never worked with so many bums and people working the system i,e taking a tulip load of sickies and blatently been working there riding the system.. Us contractors smashed the permie's to shreads

                  But the most annoying part was the constant complaining, i suppose they were not the most important people there but damn the culture sucks.

                  Never worked with so many backstabbers and scum, albeit there were some nice people there but everyone there seriously has issue's of some sort.


                  So if anyone works for HP please get me a contact and I will never do help desk again those days are over.

                  Did a week at another gig for Fujitsu our manager said I cannot stand the site of this guy who came down from Nottingham, ****er spend 3 days on the phone to his doctor's and deciding what company car he should get, even wanted to move to a more expensive hotel just to save himself 5 minutes or something....
