Best wishes to all of you for showing the strength to anounce it here, a place known for permiephobic positings.
I hope you get the full support of your families and life partners when you tell them that deep down you've always been permie at heart and that despite the peer pressure, you were never really attracted to money.
I'm not sure for many that being permie is simply a lifestyle choice. For some of you I'm sure it's always been that way.
Although my wife would be horrified at the thought now if I ever her told her, I did have a number of permie experiences when in college. But all those minimum wage shenanigans just left me feeling dirty inside. It just wasn't for me.
I genuinely hope you all find happiness in the future.Comment

23 years as a contractor (of one sort or another), now I'm a permie at a very comfortable salary (probably exceeds many of the contractors rates on here) and I get all the previously mentioned benefits of permiedomOriginally posted by Pondlife View PostBest wishes to all of you for showing the strength to anounce it here, a place known for permiephobic positings.
