Jobs Boom

[DimPrawn]

UK on mend with 'game changing’ year for jobs - Telegraph

Britain will end the year with its strongest rate of jobs growth since 2007.

So jobs are booming, inflation in everyday items rampant, house prices going stratospheric.

Who's getting a massive rate rise then? Seems only fair we should benefit from this wonderous economic recovery...

People with the right skills. If you haven't kept up, its your own fault, I'm afraid.
Constant training is the name of the game.

Perhaps you can give us all some insight into your Excel skills?

You seem to have developed some fixation with my rather average Excel skills. I did do some VBA many years ago.

But as usual you're missing the point. Theoretically you could do stats modelling in Excel (for small datasets) and get paid a huge amount. The money would be for your stats modelling skills, not for Excel.
Similarly you could use Excel for Gantt charts to manage a team, as I also did in the past. You're getting the money for project management not Excel.

You can always tell limited IT people: they're fixated on a tool, not on the end result and bigger picture.
And that my friend, is why you don't get and don't deserve the big bucks.

This explains your very evident self-loathing. Every time you open your mouth you must want to punch yourself in the gonads at the rubbish you hear.
