What annoys me is they say that they will keep 3 quarters of the work force full time and there will be a regular audit to make sure this is so. The last person to be taken on full time in my office was over 10 years ago. Theres not a cat in hells chance that 3 quarters is full time.
Coincidentally, that's the same ratio at our office, even though a few full timers have left in the last year and shitloads of part timers have been recruited. Doesn't add up! :crazy:
