Permies dropping like flies

You turn up and people start handing their notice in? Maybe your are infectious

Ignored

Why is that then? I imagine you are making your usual assumptions. All the work I am doing is project work rather than BAU.... They are bringing perms in to do the other stuff.

You and your manager... so only you to manage... no one else to do the work? Just making an assumption that D&C is gonna become a bit of a problem. Alarm bells gotta start ringing when you are the only contractor left in an enduring team.

That means it's just me and the manager left!

Funny place I am at:

6 months ago there was a team of 4 just before I joined

- 2 weeks before I joined the main techie guy left.

- 1 week after I joined another guy left (happened to be a waste of space anyway)

- today the 3rd and final guy got a job offer.

That means it's just me and the manager left!

Not sure of this is good or bad. Ah well just invoice and carry on.

A real contractor would put their rate up

As it turns out this is the most ir35 compliant contract I have worked. Manager does not manage me at all. I am dealing full time with business and end users.

Just because I am working in this dept does not mean I fit into the team structure. My contract is ultra compliant which means they have not even questioned the hours I work or where I work from.

I am purely here to deliver consultancy and services and am seen as an external resource.


All in all shove it NLUK!

That's inevitable in the next few months.
