Thanks for the reference - I like the idea of a monthly or fortnightly Retro session to work through what worked well and what could've worked better. I'm going to get my PM to host fortnightly initially, then maybe moving to monthly if things get better. I'm also looking to try to move away...
Great rational thinking, thank you. I've tried to not have arguments and not get wound up, and have worked through this with a career coach I work with occasionally. I guess it's just not in my nature to do that, but I'm giving it a go.
I like the Conflict Phase reference - I am going to try to...

Hi All :wave:
Welcome any advice the forum members can give on contract clauses for an Umbrella Company contract I'm due to sign:
- I'm new to Umbrella Company contracts
- I'm due to start a new contract on Monday - public sector, inside IR35, agency advised contract needs to go via an UC
