Why do people accept permie jobs?

[lukemg]

Why? Because we have to of course, otherwise I'd still be loadsa-kerching-ing it out there!

Still, can always go back there when I had enough here

Yep, sounds about right, when you are in demand and coining it, you can never see any chance you will go permie. However, IT can be a fickle mistress and it doesn't take much for your skills and experience to become obsolete or commodity and either way devalued. A few weeks of hearing only the howling wind and the sound of a lonely church bell in the distance, in response to applications and you start to reassess what work you will do and where.
Happened to me, went permie, scored some service management training and experience and I am back in the game but with one eye looking over my shoulder in case another boulder is coming.
Plan B + Evolve and you might survive. Tread water and you are toast.

never.

I was out of work twice this year.

1st period was for 4 weeks. On the bench.

2nd period was for 6 weeks. On the bench.

I had 4 contracts this year, calculated my earnings this year, i averaged about 55k/58k

Been averaging over and above that for the past 4 years, and i've only just turned 30 and bought a brand new **** off footballers wives place in the country and a brand new car being made in a factory as i speak.

I would never go back to permieland.

Permies produce nothing, they do nothing - sometimes I think they are the smart ones they get paid for doing nothing beyind turning up, whereas we work our nuts off for what double or treble what they get paid for extending their social life.

You live in a different world to me (unfortunately)
