Timesheets not getting approved

I was going to make a comment about jam doughnuts with strings, but I won't.

Take one to the Antiques Roadshow and ask them which period it came from

Seriously, though, it probably depends on the sector. In IB, there's no need because they're all well paid anyway.

Water and ducks backs come to mind

"Yeah we are getting rid of the contractor because he doesn't brew up" - Said no one ever

It's been a long thread so excuse me please, but are we saying you never go to the pub or is it one of the county council sort of places where, when they go, they cheese real drinkers off by queuing up to buy and pay individually, while dangling their IDs on chains around their necks? Or are you of those that only goes occasionally, accepts a couple of drinks but never buys a round because you never (in your opinion) stay until it is your turn?

I only ask ask because if it is the latter, you owe me a few pints!

Met plenty of permies who won't buy their share of cakes, or are too miserable to come to the pub.

The only difference is for us contractors, it might swing an extension over a miserable contractor when push comes to shove (budgets getting cut, whatever)

So to me, it's a no brainer to participate in this type of thing.

In fact, I'm sure it does affect permies too (bonus, promotion etc)
