You’re a permie? And you’re going to ‘push’ for 2 days working from home?Originally posted by ronkeen View PostI am moving 2 tech projects of my own besides this perm job. I wouldn't mind alienation, and strict communication with me via email. Plus I will push for 2 days a week home work.

Good luck for that, you’ll never last the probation period.

Haven't you read the State of The Market thread ? I can't get a contract 2 years now bro, that is why I always find it funny when I read someone took 3 - 4 months tops to get a contract.. 2 years bro.Originally posted by clearedforlanding View PostI find the solution to this sort of problem is to start contracting.

So I have this contracting mindset, direct manager is not in my country , we are like outsourced desk. Funny to be a perm.Comment

If I don't last the probation period it means I was not accepted as an autonomous independent worker able to deliver any workOriginally posted by cojak View PostGood luck for that, you’ll never last the probation period.
load as long I am not being micro managed on a daily / half-daily basis.
If that permie will know what I am working on all the time, then maybe part of my work will be managing his time and this will involve controlling when he speaks to me. Then we will have democracy.Last edited by ronkeen; 8 May 2018, 20:24.Comment

I find it strange that you haven't found anything in 2 years, you have shown great spirit. I am sure that if you give it another go you will find something in 2 months tops. Things are really picking up in Harlsden.Originally posted by ronkeen View PostHaven't you read the State of The Market thread ?
