The answer is that IT is tuliptie , grubby profession. I have been 6 months on my longest contract yet , and I have started exibiting typical permie behaviour -STAY LOW. I was not like that. But then I just remind myself - you here for money only.Last edited by Likely; 25 April 2008, 11:17.Comment

The actual answer is it's because you don't have a particular incentive to work any one day, over another.Originally posted by Spacecadet View Post
Yes we all work because we want to earn but as long as you meet deadlines etc there is no marginal benefit for you to work hard today (unless the deadline is tomorrow) so there is no point doing it.
If you were rewarded for finishing early or for extra work completed then you would be more motivatedIt's about time I changed this sig...Comment

I agree - being paid per hour/day effectively means you're penalised for working hard and being good. If I could be paid according to how hard I worked, I'd work hard all the time and take more time off to compensate, which would be better all round.Originally posted by MrRobin View Post
Like you said above, I hate having nothing to do and enjoy the days where I am busy.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Overcharging contractors, about time the OFT ruled against overcharging contractors for the sake of the poor clientsThe 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
