Why? If you're right, permies can collect their redundancy and then go contracting. No problem! The difference between permie and contract is not great these days - not in Aus anyway.Originally posted by snaw View PostComment

"you've got s hitty shoes mate"The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Difference is...
Increase in permie jobs (financial or otherwise) reflects economy doing well. Increase in contracting jobs doesn't, could well be the opposite. In good times there are more permie jobs, in bad times more contract ones according to my experience.Comment

Cause in my experience there are a fair amount of permies who wouldn't stand a hope in hell of getting a contract cause they're absolutely useless. Sorry but it's true, much less so than contractors who have to prove they're up to it by delivering. Many permies in my experience are just treading water and haven't advanced or developed their skillset in years.Originally posted by aussielong View PostHang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
