Is your job under threat from Europe?
Just job hunting and came across this site
http://www.eurojobs.com/
There are jobs in the UK advertised on there,some of which sound quite highly skilled and being offered out at 30 -50 pounds a day! Thats about £1000 per month. It seems that some UK companies are touting for recruits from other parts of Europe to do UK jobs cheaper. The writing is on the wall for a lot of us.
The Brits will soon be languishing on the dole or operating in the black economy whilst the New Europeans are doing it cheaper and smiling.

Strange
I looked at the jobs on the link page, and the rates were as follows -
Estimating Manager 58k-65k
Project Manager 53k-58k
Trainee Dealer 20k-50k
New definition of "cheaper" I hadn't come across before.....

Not really. My partner and I have secondary Eurojobs and we were looking forward to the "7" gravy train that was advertised 22.12.06. If one wants to work, there is plenty of EU money... and we cost more than everybody else in EU, glad to be Brit...

Thats why I'm looking for another job.

Perhaps the Now Show was right, and the Soviet Union hasn't ended.
Putin's plan is to flood the west with ex-soviet plumbers and when the time is right, he'll resurect the USSR and hold the west to ransom when there's a particularly cold snap and no plumbers available

Just like he's holding us all to ransome now with his gas supplies? Oh how things have changed.
