It's PDR time at one of my current clients

The best thing about contracting is you can behave like a true director.
Even if your performance has been totally carp, you can award yourself a nice healthy bonus

What I love, is not needing to get permission to do things all the time. If I want to bid for a piece of work, or collaborate with another company - it's my call. If I want to get some new IT equipment, go on a training course, or buy some books - it's my call. If I want to go to a conference for a week - it's my call.

FTFY

Saddle myself with tulip loads of debt, for a property I will lose when the crash comes - it's my call.

I could never take appraisals seriously!

Every time I here the words 'PDR', I thank my lucky stars I am a contractor, and don't have to suffer that tulip.

Ah. An appraisal. Why don't they just say that?

In 15 years of on/off permiedom I only ever had to do that twice.

To me they really were a waste of time!
