That said, you've got to look at the interviewer and wonder what they were doing taking on someone so clearly not in tune with the corporate culture.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Why does PC insist in everything having to be fair? It's business and it's in the contract
Why does fair always have to come in to it. Sounds more like a disgruntled employee than a contractor.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

True, this highlights one of the downsides of contracting.
Contracting should continue to offer a higher financial reward than permanent employment for a similar skills set/role. It's the price the client should pay for the flexible workforce that allows them to not have to pay notice periods or sick leave or holidays, or have permies sat around as a fixed cost between projects.
The government may see their meddling as making it 'fairer' regarding tax but their blinkered view makes contracting less attractive and pointless for many that just want to get paid for using their skills set and aren't that bothered about the upsides of contracting.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
