Pissed off with clientcos

[TestMangler]

So just summarising your position. You've dicked clients around by jumping ship, you've had 5 years of end to end gigs including a 'dream' gig and are now crying like a spoilt girl because you've failed a 3 stage interview (which isn't unheard of) and you are facing a bit of bench time.

That about right?

You are 'The Wolf' and I claim my $5 and a free crush at Monster Joe's Truck & Tow.

Harsh, but fair I'd say.

Seems to be the image you want to create in your head of me......

I'm hardly crying like a spoilt girl if I am going to make use of my time to help others.....

I'm pissed off with the state of the market more than anything else.

Am just using historical facts and you can do both.

Yeah ok I'm doing both

Genuinely taking a break from this bulltulip.

I'm going to take a flight to Greece to help the refugees who are fleeing war torn parts of the world.....

Will figure out what I'm gonna do when I am back.

Help them get to the UK at £10k a head. It's outside IR35, last I heard, but keep it to yourself...you never know when they are going to change the rules.

Phone call yesterday morning about a quick one-off training project, rang back in the afternoon to say all on. Easy peasy, some have it, some don't There's loads of work out there...

[MarillionFan]

I'm also in my 40's, and I'm totally with you on that one.

Feck. I thought you were older. You look older.

Couldn't give a flying toss about missing out on the role because the arrogance the clients have at the moment is causing me to completely lose it.

This, Ladies, Gentlemen and MF, is called hypocrisy.

[MrMarkyMark]

Attended 3 rounds of interview for a role - wasn't told of the 3rd till I completed the 2nd.

I was one of 10 who got through to first round.
Then one of 5 in 2nd round
Got down to last 2 in 3rd round and just lost out.

Couldn't give a flying toss about missing out on the role because the arrogance the clients have at the moment is causing me to completely lose it. Like other decent contractors I usually have a few offers to chose from and the fact clientcos can get away with doing 3 round and picking and choosing makes me want to stay on the bench a little longer until the market picks up and it's more of a level playing field. Hate being made to feel like I am somehow in need.

Brexit keeps coming up too both in the interviews and by agents. Maybe best to wait till it's all over so i can give these tossers some back.

Thanks for the best laugh of the morning.
How long have you been doing this now, sounds far too long.

Have "fun" in Greece, Tarrraa!
