New role - Permi mentality

[MyUserName]

When I received things like this I would tell them that I was very sorry but my IR35 insurance company insisted that I did not fill in things which are aimed at perm staff members. I was, of course, very sorry and thought it was utterly stupid but what could I do? The insurance company had spoken.

Or it's for them to maintain a directory of skills in order to tender for new work (if it's a consultancy or similar). Either way you probably shouldn't be on *that* list.

This. Also qualify why.. For example they may use this portal to source internally skilled resources for future projects. Point out you won't be available anyway so a waste of everyone's time. Prove its pointless and they won't peruse it IMO.

WHS. And also bring in your own toilet paper like NLUK so you don't appear a permie.

...However, In order to not piss the client off I'm considering doing the surveys just to keep things sweet...

"I'll fill these in if you want me to, but a) I'm not an employee, so I don't see how it's relevant and b) as you pay 27p per hour for my time, is it good value for you?"

No no no... I do that because my client only has that Izal paper that scratches my poor little sphincter no end. I bring my own comfort triple ply jojoba infused deluxe comfort roll cause it makes me bum feel warm and cosy and loved.

Why are your posts these days only about bogs / toilet paper / tulip / bumh0le / Suity?
