I like that one. Listen, unless your current contract states you must be at your desk 9-5, 5 days a week, you are entitled to work where you like. I always take the view that the client has no right to complain to me unless a deliverable is late.

And, I concur with the others, make the contract reflect what you want come renewal time or leave them to it...

Unless they're explicit about letting you work from home, most managers like to have you where they can see you and make sure you are actually working. Your managetr seems a bit spineless to give the excuse that your permie colleagues are objecting. If it's a business issue then he should make a proper business case for having you travel to the offcie every day.

Never been that lucky, most of the time I have had good relationships with clients, however, not THAT GOOD that they trust me to work from home.

One day....

It's all a matter of setting expectations at the outset of the contract.
