Contract Extension and 'Rate Increase'

[psychocandy]

Nah - I use line manager as well. The person who's responsible for the department in which I work. It's a handy term, not necessarily indicating that he tells me what to do. Except this morning when he told me to get another coffee as I looked a little

Why not use line manager? He might be line manager of the dept which includes both permies and contractors.

I've got an engineering manager. Just because I dont want to appear to be permie doesnt stop the guy being an engineering manager.

IMHO those contractors who kick up too much of a fuss about stupid things like this get frowned upon. Pick your battles cos clients just want no hassle not contractors acting like prima donnas and continually telling everyone why they;re so special.

Not sure I understand the context of this comment. Are you aiming this at the 'line manager' thread, or my original thread re the rate issue?
