Speaking the truth here, IR35, contract to perm. What everyone is thinking...

Exactly. If it wasn't for minutes everything would happen all at once, and we wouldn't be able to keep up!

I've never had any problem merging in with permie teams, like a chamelion, and vice versa as a consistent record of contract renewals attests.

My only issue with going to the dark side is the "bridge burning" aspect, in that employment contracts often require one's PSC to be dissolved.

Don't dissolve it? Employers dont sue their employees in practice even if they legally are able to. Also typically they would need to be able to prove damages as a result of breach... That would be really difficult. They probably don't even know what's in their employment contract and are just using whatever is standard and don't actually care about the terms.

You read all of that?

Given the poster I'll assume he's upset that he can't get the role he deserves and it's everyone else's fault, especially the 'boomers'*

You are open with them. You tell them you have a company can't close it down immediately due to X and Y but you won't work through it during your employment with them. (Doesn't stop anyone else in your family working through it.) They then will change your contract.

When I first started in IT I was permie and got my employment contract changed as I pointed out I fell foul of one of their clauses.

I dissolved mine before, then resurrected it (with the same name) it's not a one time deal.

Going permie soon - likely to dissolve MyCo again - suspect it will be for the final time unless the regime changes.

Looked like it was a translation from Klingon Opera to me.

I always have a laugh when a company offers "free lunch", "gym membership" or "private healthcare plan".

This means that probably staff is underpaid and can't afford these.

Or sell your company for £1 to your cat or mother-in-law and buy it back when you need it.
