Im a contractor and work really hard...

Over the years I have heard this time and again. I’m a contractor and work damn hard that I deserve my Xxx per day rate easily

a reminder about how serious people take work and how easily t can crumble

I think this could well be in the wrong forum. Could a mod do the needful and move it General?

I think that's an issue Nick still needs to fix.

Mind you given the number of declining number of posters on here it won't make much difference

Not surprising - ContractorUK should be embarrassed at the result of the forum upgrade.

On the upside, calls into accountants have BOOMED!

As for the original post here, typical moaning millennials getting offended at a little bit of hard work

Having worked at the same client as DaveB I can confirm this is 100% true... and the client still thought he was the absolute dogs danglies as well. Definitely cut out to be a contractor.

You're not a contractor, it's in the professional forum and you don't work very hard so not sure what you are even doing on this thread.
