excessive time off!: Excessive time off that's a laugh, I worked in the states and working every day doesn't mean you're being productive, I've never meet such a load of lazy people in my life, European workers are far more productive! There are some great people there but they're in the minority!

Run away from the competition that's fine we don't want such a bloated overpaid, expensive consulting company anyway!; Posted by: chrisf7011 Posted on: 05/05/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
