I might being pedantic but if you can't think like a contractor/business then how can expect to be treated like one. No amount of tests/contracts/WPs can save you if you have a permie mentality.Originally posted by notahappybunny View PostWrong phrase then sorry, the person that I directly liaise with on behalf of the Trust.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

It's the sort of mentality that can get you caught though; saying manager is one thing - it generally means hiring manager or client manager - but line manager infers line management and permiedom.Originally posted by notahappybunny View PostBit harsh on a newbie on the forum I think but thanks for the critique anyway....if it comes down to the subtle use of words then quite honestly I shan't bother to ask for advice again.... sorry to have troubled you.
You'll have realised that NLUK is a grumpy pedant but has the best intentions to educate - that's why he's in IT and not teaching. He has all the bedside manners of Sweeney Todd.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
