Permies constantly joking about contractors being rich

Best ignored - most of them haven't got the foggiest idea about what it involves, or any commercial acumen. The end client clearly sees value in the engagement, and that is all that matters, not banter or envious whining.

Of course, they could always give it a go themselves...

Neither do many contractors

As the subject suggests, the permies are "joking", i.e. funny ha ha...

Not to be taken seriously, they're not plotting to duff you over in the car park and take your cash on pay day.

Nothing to stop you sneering back and saying "good morning pleb" to all the permies in the office.

Yeah just ask Harold Shipman.

He is dead...

You're always alluding to how high your day rate is (even in the opening post). I imagine if you're the same in the office, they would get pissed off.

Bah. You stole my line.

[woohoo]

Bah. You stole my line.

Don't worry it wasn't a funny or interesting line.

Ouija board.

Is there anybody there? Knock once for yes, knock twice for no.

Or the religious method, "knock once for no and don't knock for yes".
