"restructuring initiative": that sounds so positive, almost benign. :blink:

Re: How is business?
 

They punted all pricey expat workers.

They're about to punt all locals too (apparently).

They've canned the next few phases as well.

You're a recruiter, right?

What's your sense of the recruitment market at the moment?

Re: How is business?
 

I'm surprised they had anyone left after the previous three clear outs. :lol:

Re: How is business?
 

so all that leaves is people who are specialists at "maintaining" railways that use steam engines and where people have the choice of sitting on top of the carriage

If they were all like The Darjeeling Limited it wouldn't be a bad thing...

I bet the expat in rail are pricey, railway in UK pay over the odds as it is. Due to NWR not using QS's and using accountants/Business Management Degree holders who don't even know what concrete is, everything is over the odds price wise.

Also NWR payment terms are fantastic. So overall what I am saying, for someone to leave that to join Etihad they must be pricey expats!

I worked in Rail in the UK for a few years. Great industry.

I didn't do any work iggle. I was a part of the fat-cats who just owned the trains and collected the ridiculously high leasing charges,

Bang average locally. Too much smoke, mirrors and helmets to get any clear sense of what the hell this region will look like in 6 months time.

Hence why we aren't hiring anyone locally and we're serving notice to people who won't / 'can't' move elsewhere.

I'm busy making sure that I'm hiring in the States, India and other far flung places so it looks (and actually is) like I'm busy.

Well, yes. They've probably not torn through the live rail network's expats etc. Just the folk who are involved in the new phases I expect.
