      Am I reading all this correctly!?

      The OP states he is looking to go back to Nationwide because...

      Needs 2 years of day rate pay
      It was easy last time in 2013
      Didn't have to do an awful lot of work to do previously which was a plus point
      Has been working from home for the last 2 years on easy street and couldn't possibly go straight into a busy contract

      No wonder a lot of permies get really narked by contractors

        Lucky at that time, I had offers from several other places so wasn't reliant on this but I've had problems with AMS before and they operate on 30 day payment terms as well.
        Magic. Thankyou.

          I don't think you understand the dynamic at NW. It's the contractors that do the work while the permies do very little from what I saw. Indeed, I was a permie there until 2004 so I know although things may have changed since the departure of Phil Williamson as CEO.

                    Did you flag it at the time?

                      I would advise him to stay out of Professional if he want his sockies to last more than a few posts.
