permie offer

[NotAllThere]

Agghghghg. My client have offered me a permie job again! Last time, they had to withdraw the offer before I responded. I don't think

"So, you want me to do the same job, for less money?"

will go down well...

So, how would you politely turn down a permie job offer? ( And it currently is a very nice place to work, one of the best contracts I've had - good, intelligent motivated people, excellent rate, great location, decent office, enjoyable work ).

You say:

"I've carefully considered your very generous offer to take a position here, and after taking into account lifestyle choices and my plans for the future, I don't think it is right for me at present. But thanks anyway, I really enjoy working here."

You think:

"fook right off do I look like an idiot"

Let them know that you have an aquaintance who may be interested in the move from contractor to permiedom.

I'd go with DP's suggestion that it doesn't suit you right now. It's certainly the response I'll give if I ever end up in that situation.

Don't forget to thank them for the offer of reduced income though!

Tell them your company's got a non-poaching agreement with theirs.

I'd suggest explaining that the only way it could happen is for them to buy your company.

If they make you an offer based on your last years turnover times 3 for the company then you can start to talk about your personal renumeration.
