Jesus wept.

"Who’s this cool customer? Ice white shoes, Ice white socks with navy blue double cadet stripe, a pair of shorts, t-shirt with chevron action flash. ‘L’homme du sport!, (Man of sport) A tossed pink sweater that says I’m in Paris and nothing’s going to stop me."

People in offices have called me inspirational and have gravitated towards my social skills and arranging evenings out for the team.

If this is how you come across in interviews, I think I may see your problem with finding a new role.

Or you could look at the person who wrote the act (Rebecca) and that the end point is going to be a small number of lead agencies accepting the risk but explicitly requiring workers to use one of y number of named approved umbrellas from which they receive paper trails confirming everyone is paid 100% correctly.

I suspect one of us is a lot, lot closer to this world than the other.

There is a lot of "cope" among the people that are close to this world, IMHO. There is a much simpler way to mitigate the risk and that is to dramatically shorten the supply chains, not lengthen them. Either way, that wasn't my point, my point was about the long-term precarity of the umbrella industry, which was always built on sand.
