    Moaning jealous contractors (rant)

    Ok the construction firm I work for has put a few people on notice due to the downturn, but we have this one contractor PM who was happy charging x3 the rate of a permie, coming in late, leaving early & bragging about his evident god like status to have his cake & eat it, saying that any permie is a muppet who has no motivation to improve his / her career prospects. Now his contract has been terminated he is claiming that he has more right to staying on than the permies & that the company is being unfair and where is the loyalty he showed the company?

    FFS Contractors if you choose that life you take the ups & downs and stop whinging

    Feeling better now

    Growing up is optional

    He is right, you are a permie muppet. You are still unaware of 'the Matrix' of permiedom. You are loyal to your 'company' you have performance 1 to 1's, go to company drinks evenings and summer parties. You just, really, don't get it.

    Maybe one day you'll get burnt and grow a pair of testicles. I doubt it though.
    You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

      Somehow I dont think BGG would approve of testicles

      Sorry did not make that last bit clear - the contractor was claiming he had showed loyalty to the company

        I sure medical science would be interested if she did!

        Personally going on the post I feel the rant is justified and anyway I've got a soft spot for Halo Jones - she was my fav in 2000AD
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                Load of rubbish. Lots of people like the idea of working in 'the team' just like they want to be in a sports team/society. Not everyone is a loner, after all you spend more time with your colleagues than your family.

                I don't like permiedom either, but then I don't like people much
