Treated like a permie

[suityou01]

I understand your point, it's just with the market as it is, the luxury of walking away seems to have eroded somewhat. Guess I'll just grimace and bear it - and line up another contract in the background.

That's what I'm doing.

Yeah, no point cutting off your nose (income) to spite your face right? At least if anything it reminds me of why I became a contractor in the first place

If you are working on-site is it not reasonable to fit in with the team? How can the team be effective if someone is continually trying to play the outsider?

OK so you have to do some tulipe things like 360 degree reviews and personality tests - on the other hand if they are paying you to do those things then so what - you might learn something about how to do these things for yourself if you ever get to run your own company one day?

You are a permie manager who loves all this crap and I claim my free aptitude test.

-5 points on the troll attempt. The fact I run my own company makes me realise the futility of these processes, it is actually possible to have a non-draconian work environment without pointless processes and still make money.

Most design agencies have gotten it right with regard to working environment and policies I would say.

If you want another member of a permie team to do permie things, hire another permie team member.

HTH

Love it when all these deluded, tax-dodging, disguised-employee,quasi-permie twunts get on their high horse and claim to be running "my own bizness, innit" when in reality the dumbest Apprentice candidate would run rings around them.

Are you two connected by an elastic band?

If I could punch my way out of this soggy paper bag I'd ask you to retract that!
