Originally posted by AlfredJPruffockPerhaps the real reason why contractors will do overtime when asked is that they are renumerated for that, quite rightly permies dont want to work more hours when they recieve only Kudos rahter than Quids !
Alf, remunerated, now write it out one hundred times before dawn or I'll cut your balls off!Comment

very good point Wendigo - in fact I've had 2 managers telling me exactly that in the last 2 sites I have been working at. They both said that overall, contractors like me werent' that much more expensive than equivalent permies.
This emboldened me to ask for a rate rise of course - with 50% success rateChico, what time is it?Comment

Excellent news Bex. I've noticed rates in my humble occupation have risen a little more than average over the past year or so.Comment
