Then read Malvolio’s comments.

Good grief."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Don’t call it holidays. Call it opportunity costOriginally posted by cojak View Post
The fact is you have significant more time off to work on plan b, relax, chase a higher paying role. That is worth an amount which has conveniently been omitted from the equation
No one replied to second point raised claiming contractors can be marched off on day four. Whilst that is true so can perms
It’s funny how a contractor forum always advises people to stay perm. IT is the last standing union 😂😂😂😂Comment

One last try to explain a very simple point. The key difference between contractor and permie is the former has a limited time to earn the money to pay for living another year and no legal obligation for that money to be paid, unlike a permie who can't be arbitrarily sacked without recompense or forced to sacrifice their wages.
So yes we may have more free time to play with, which is part of the appeal of being a contractor. But it comes with a built in cost that permies don't have to worry about.Blog? What blog...?

I had to let a permie go 3 weeks before Christmas after failing his probation back when i was a permie. At least a contractor will have a warchest and ability to get back looking quickly.Comment
