Selfish? Yes, but then again... that's what I've (we've) become. I think the days of everyone mucking in together as a happy band-of-brothers (and sisters) has rather died out somewhat (if it ever existed at all).
A slight detoour from the subject of this thread (kicking the Dinosaur?), I've heard of a number of instances recently where people (including from one of our jobs) have been lured away from existing work by promises of 'minimum 6 month contract' and the like, then been laid-off a lot sooner, in one case after a week and a half! Is BAJR taking this practice into account when vetting who he allows to post job adverts?
