Sadly I feel that we are so out of touch that it hasn't sinked in how serious the issue is - not a good witness.<BR/><BR/>I sell my skills in a suddenly very difficult market - last year I was getting two or three calls a week for new work, sometimes that many in a day. Now the calls have dried up, rates are clearly coming down "could you be more flexible?" is the polite way to ask for a cut?) and there's a lot more competition as newly redundent workers undercut. <BR/><BR/>It is not feeling very good at all and the situation has been worsening since the early summer. Somehow this hasn't been picked up elsewhere. I would have been delighted if other Methodist bloggers, some with far bigger readerships than me, had picked up the issue.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295136895729093238noreply@blogger.com
