Permiedom beckons...

[SussexSeagull]

I have kind of given up predicting or understanding market forces in contracting other than it being quiet over Summer and on the run up to the Christmas (the second of which seems to start in October now).

Funnily enough have yet to have an inside contract but that is balanced out by clients seemingly being incapable of following the interview/offer/start process in anything approaching good time to the point I need three or more at advanced stages before I feel in the least bit confident.

Have you completed your quarterly goals yet?

Also Doris from admin says she saw you coming back from your lunch hour at 14:02

Doris can go f**king whistle!

See? I can't do permy.

I think that counts as engaging in office politics - you’re in!

[cojak]

Yeah, keep an eye on Doris - two can play at that game.

I’ll bet she’s light-fingered in the stationary cupboard…

Is that a euphemism?

Contractors are great at deliverables so you just make sure your review sets proper ones

If you're working somewhere with people like Doris, move somewhere else. She'd only be asking why the contractor earning twice as much as everyone else gets to leave early...

And in the morning Doris will arrive at work before you do, guaranteed, but it is Dennis that you really need to worry about, "Eh... mate, what time do you call this? ... Hey quackhandle". (passive aggressive intonations)

Many of the permie jobs I've been looking at are fully or 95% remote so may be able to avoid that crap.

I have tentatively applied for some of them, but my god their application screens have been designed by school level web monkeys. One asked for cv then would try and extrapolate your client history into their own web forms, but it completely butchered it! I gave up.


Not quite far of the Yosser Hughes stage, but am getting there.
