Tell it as it is...
You're all Gordo dodging, pseudo employees masquerading as owner managers paying yourself minimum wage aided and abetted by barrow boys you're hopelessly dependent as surely as mainliner junkie is on Heroin (except that Heroin is a lot less damaging to your wellbeing, and certainly a lot cheaper).

I'm exactley the same but I do tend to be a bit more willing than the permy staff, it makes me look like good value.Originally posted by Alf WSit in the corner, head down, do a good job, stay out of the politics and hope everyone forgets I earn twice as much as they do whilst getting many many renewals. Oh and I don't do 'living away from home'.
Not the best recipe for money but a better quality of life.
Oh, and I would stab the other contractors on site in the back if it meant I got the gig.
