What's the stupidest thing you've done as a contractor
Wasn't me but worked in a team of mostly contractors who were with same agency and renewed around the same time.
He got his renewal and sent a mail to the team along the lines of 'Yeah, extension!!! Creaming it on this gig and I have to do f' all for it. Let the permies do it for me' etc etc.
