Maybe. I did go permie three years ago, but handed in my notice after three months, as I was working for a complete nutjob. Funnily, he used to fawn all over his boss. It was embarrassing. Anyway, I went contracting again and stole their client.

But usually, it's not so black and white. You have to play the game a bit and build relationships. And at the same time you need to do the right thing and deliver to the best of your ability.

Yep I agree with you.

Which makes me feel strange inside!

QED.

Some of us know how to build human relationships, although it is of course important to recognise when your punter is a narcissist, sociopath or similar type.

Mental health charity Mind carried out the research and said many men work in industries where a "macho culture" exists which may prevent them from talking about their feelings.

Feelings....?
