Those comments are hilarious. Some pompous twit is saying that he's remained a permie in order to maintain his integrity. He reckons we are all overpaid workshy fops who leave the overworked and underpaid permies to pick up the mess we've all left behind. Who's the fool in this picture?

I regret to say that he's got me all figured out - I'll take the cash and he can have the "integrity"

Psychotic, bigoted, contractor-hating permie vs several disgruntled contractors. Yawn. It's o.k. though, he only thinks 'most' contractors are over-paid rubbish. I'm assuming he's fine with ethnic minorities, different races and religions to himself and possibly gays but I'm not sure. Watch out, he's far cleverer than any of us apparently. Ironically, he's not too keen on some permies either. Ho hum.
