Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostSadly, the people who make decisions about outsourcing consider IT workers to be all of equal value. They also fail to understand that if someone on £800 a day fixes an issue in one hour, that's cheaper than someone on £80 a day fixing the issue in 2 days.Comment

As the author Jim Collins of Good to Great says "First, get the right people on the bus".
You will still get good permies, but contractors tend to be on another level because they haven't had the life sucked out of them by the corporate bulltulip.Comment

There are probably too many permanent contractors there who are fully embedded in the organisation and they have been allowed to stay because the lack of head count looks good on the books.
Perhaps a shake up of resourcing will be good for the bank, as permies who've relied on contractors to cover up their ineptitude will be exposed. (I hear this is happening at Gatwick)
What I don't like is the message this approach gives both the market and HMRC.
Yes, take the forthcoming change and use it to positively influence how you operate your organisation. No, don't deliver HMRC's propaganda to them on a silver platter.Comment

Well, they've finally caught up with you.Comment
