How do you handle disgruntled permanent staff and management

Get on the market or turn into Wilmslow. Take your pick.

Does sound difficult, however if I may say so you're taking the right attitude by just getting the work done. If you stick at it for long enough I think you may very well pull through. The good news is that the senior dev felt your code was good enough to be checked in, he didn't delete it all like he did on Friday and having been accused of not doing enough this has changed to "way too much". This sounds like progress to me.

I would just keep going.

Should be hearing tomorrow about another gig for a client I've done work with in the past. Closer to home, more money and the boss isn't a tool.

Having never been in this situation I'm wondering what they'll make me do for my notice period.

His attitude has been more positive. I admit. But he still kept schtum earlier when the manager was give me grief about modifying the core when it was ok'd by the senior dev.

The money is good but it's not worth the earache. When you get to the point you dread going into work that's probably the time to reconsider your options

Sounds like the only option you needed in order to leave. Good luck

Easier said than done, but try not to let it bother. If you're set on leaving, why not make a game out of the Permie's jealousy.

-Ask if he wants anything picking up from waitrose as you're going there to grab some lunch
-Withdraw a few hundred in cash and leave your wallet on your desk with it sticking out
-Ask him for advice on what expensive new phone you should get (paid out of the company of course - it's great hardly paying any tax)
-Turn up late a little late and then say you punctured a tire and complain about how much it cost to replace a spare on your Masserati.

etc.

If the other Gig pops up don't jeopardise it by working a notice period. Give them the required notice and also mention that you're unavailable from dd/mm/yyyy. If it's any consolation they will have to cost out finding another dev.

Definitely sounds like it is time to move on. Good luck with the next place.

It has???

Well the ones I have worked with. Mainly to ensure that I wasn't an animal rights activist.

I suspect that the vetting done by pharmas doesn't rival going through DV clearance

Never done DV so you may well be correct. It took 5 weeks before I was allowed on site though. In that time I signed numerous disclosures, NDAS plus a Views and Attitudes assessment.

Years a go I was offered a role in the security services, but turned it down after looking more closely into the DV process. It takes up to 6 months and they interview your referees for hours, asking them if they know what sort of porn you like and whether you've cheated on your wife etc.
