The workers

There are those around us lucky enough to be in work.  Though the economic situation is in dire straights and currently absorbing scandalous lies about a recovery the situation does not seem to be getting any better. Newspapers are repeating the same old classifieds job positions over and over again rather than remove them and make the job market look as dire as it actually is.  In Europe and the middle east the so called high-flying executive has been replaced with the budget-baba(BB).  No longer is it "what can you do for our company" but rather "what money can you save us" mentality that is recruiting professionals (?) and that mentality is most likely to stay. Places like India, Egypt, Philippines and Iran are seeing an exodus of Degree holders as they seek well to-do positions in europe and the middle east with their budget-baba working plan gaining favour with the Human resource officer who is also a member of the BB elite.  For the company it is a great time.  Not only can the company fake a recession hit cutback on staff but in turn gain cheap labour on temporary contracts with no need to worry about incentives, package deals and holidays etc.
Today's world just got harder to get work in, unless that is you are willing to become a part of the BB Elite.
