Difference between a permie and a contractor

One has days off sick.

the other has days off billing

[Scrag Meister]

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."



Summed up nicely by Theodore Roosevelt.

And quoted nicely by DimPrawn cos he loves Gladiator movies.

Oooo 'ark at her!
Bit mouthy for a fat failure aren't you?

From a man who's concept of success involves trading his mazda in for a volvo. Sasguru, champion of the world.

Were I an aspirational, brand-obsessed, material idiot like you, I could afford almost any car I wanted.
Luckily I am not.

I have no idea what gave you that idea. Did a cosmic ray hit your braincell?

Perhaps the fact that your previous post suggested that the brand of car one bought had some bearing on something.
Face it, you're just a wannabe fraud

Well, they are both boring old fartmobiles.

FWIW I haven't owned a car for years.

...about £60k per year.

...about £60k per year.

Some muppet agent emailed me a permie "senior developer" role yesterday.

Location SE England, must have donkeys years experience, degree, etc, etc.

£25K to £35K pay scale.

It seems salaries are the same now as they were 20 years ago.

Tut tut. It's always about the money with some of you lot.

How about the freedom, job satisfaction and being your own boss???

So you applied then?

If they can make me 20 years younger, I'd be interested.

Doesn't seem much for a 40 year old.

They are. Unless you are a Mercant Banker, Chief exec, MP, etc

We are all being shafted and everyone just accepts it.
