Mandatory Contractor Furlough

[psychocandy]

Any more posts between NLUK and psychocandy in the professional forums that are just personal abuse will result in both parties being banned for a few days. We've had enough.

If you find he's off your ignore list, exercise some self control and put him back on. Do not respond. It isn't difficult.

Good. About time...

my enforced furloughs and rate cuts ceased a couple of years ago when I moved from investment banking to asset management, then insurance and now big 4 accountancy. What I've also found is that the environment is a lot more pleasant and flexible, generally, and people have lives outside the workplace, 10+ hour days down to 7. When you compare the day rates for the actual hours you're expected to work it equates to a better hourly rate. The place I'm at now, the official start time is 09:30, I kid you not ,and they're out the door by 17:30 at the latest and an hour for lunch. It could almost be the public sector, aside from the rates. Coming from an IB background, this is an alien environment but a welcome one. I'm just waiting for them to reintroduce half-day Wednesdays and early Friday finish. Actually I finish Fridays early anyhow.

Upshot. There's more to life than money, not that the rate is poor either.
