Sure, my comment will qualify me for Mastermind, special subject, The Bleeding Obvious - NJS guys suffer the old management line which we used to get 25 years ago when I was there, "guys, everyone wants our contract, its very competitive, and we must tighten our belts, take an 80% pay cut or you'll have no job." We got it all the time. Its far more serious now because QF have bought up all the NJS competitors and will just play them all off. I know its all obvious, but when you get guys calling them spineless, well they've not been in their shoes. And its not just a threat nowadays, make your branch of the operation uncompetitive and you WILL lose the work.
