Took a permi job in Nov encouraged by what some people around here were pedalling and well… resigned already.
Finished 2nd of Febr, 3 months in.

can’t say it’s my shortest gig because did 3 days last year at a place.

I’d rather move to the other end of Europe and live in a small forgotten village full of drunkyards than have to deal with that nonsense for the rest of my life. I’d probably find more meaning there.

the presenteism, the ierarchy, the culture is toxic.
I was stupid enough to be part of a team that had 2 employees in India… And guess what, they brought the culture with them. The idiots were doing 15h days. And if you are bellow their apparent status, they speak to you like a ******* donkey.
I do not usually care but the money is not worth it. I am not working hard for the opportunity to pay bills and have maybe 1-2k left in my account at the end of the month. That’s indentured servitude.

btw, the big banks are no longer keeping up with the salaries so only the deadweight is left behind.

wtf

thought you'd been a bit quiet of late.

I'm planning on retiring in 4 months. That's what happens if you give your hard earned to Hargreaves Landsdown instead of Ladbrokes...

What?

**Pondlife** · 10 February 2022, 10:02

Sorry, I got as far as "local bus ride" and figured your account was hacked.

Can I borrow £20 in case you get on another one?

giving a tulip if co workers snuff it or leave

I don't think anyone on here believes that you'd ever do that.

In a permie job myself at the moment whilst I sort my head and life out. Thankfully I'm half decent at what I do so I don't get too involved in the tulip - there are some games I have to play, but I'm totally honest with my line manager and tell him it's all poo, but I'll do it to keep his boss happy as I know my boss also has to play the same games.

Not too onerous though ... 6 month tick box reviews, the odd H&S type course, attending dull meetings (all TEAMS so turn video off and just carrying working instead).

I'll go back contracting at some stage, but for the moment this works well for me personally.

Same here and TBH the games we have to play are easier than those that HMRC require these days.
