Seriously, 5% of my gross annual turnover as a contractor going into my pension (tax free) over the years hardly left me slumming it.

I once worked with a guy that left IT and started a landscaping business. Personally I would like to be a full time properly investor, but working outside(outdoors) would be good as well. I'll probably leave the UK before I stop working in IT. Many good people going to leave the UK due to this war on contractors.Comment

Continuous pressure, little hints thrown out into the conversation telling you: "You are not good enough" "Work harder" You know you are one of the best around but rubbish, it's not enough. The person there wants all he can get.
Continuous meetings about "doing the right thing", you are expected to embrace all these joyful ideas and buzz words and play around with them and mingle with the rest of the herd. Don't forget about the team buildings where you are studied and even further brainwashed. It is mandatory as well to go. Don't dare saying a word that can be interpreted another way and that undermines their "culture" because you'll quickly be put to your place, you ungrateful worker.
Let's not forget everything is about culture nowadays, they are all so proud of it, I get nauseous even hearing the word. It's a bacterial culture that is what it is.
You get pushed and pushed until one point where you don't see any other option, you've had enough of the tulip show, you are tired, so you succumb into the idea and become another brainless permi.
Don't even get me started in the office politics.Comment
