First Bob Contractor experience

[eek]

What's socialising?

Talking to the security guards / reception, chatting to the permies within the team at lunchtime.......

I usually survive til the day the money finally runs out......

Being late for meetings etc is something that Bobs do, just to show that they are busy and dont have time for meetings.

Basically this. There are ways to get them to turn up on time but this takes time.

It's a bad impression for ANY contractor to be giving.

That's going to the pub with the permies and paying for their drinks and looking like you're happy to be there.
