        Mind you, 16 attacks on proper CUK members = 16 life bans

        Not busy in permie land are you? Haven't you got an appraisal to report for or a nose to brown?

              That could be, and probably is, very very very wrong.

                Honestly MF, if you're so high falutin, so farking succesful, why on gods earth do you spend most of your free time on here posting?

                You're a dreamer, and actually not a very good one.

                  Well according to MyCo's org chart there is just Canary M Burns above me



                  Doesn't matter the title of the person above you, even a well placed premmie still has to report to someone, even if its just share holders, me and the other contractors are still ultimately the masters of our own destiny, we choose the contracts and the direction we travel. It may be on a smaller scale than your new company, but it's our choice to stay small

                    I'm still a contractor but in relative poverty according to the CUK official measure, net worth <£1m and no Lambo.

                    Please help.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                      To be frank, he'll not get this. I chose contracting so I maintained the power to do what I want to do. Public sector contracts just changed, so I quit my contract, and start work for a non PS company in Dec; it's this flexibility that makes contracting that much better for me.

                      But havin said that, I am just a poor permie after all, only earning £5k a year, my wife, too, only earns £5k. Lucky for us though, we bought a company that now makes lots of profits we receive dividends on so we don't pay much tax at all, let alone NI.

                      I guess those high earners all paying 20-25% federal tax, and then state tax on top, well, them be lucky folk...
