Sometimes I try to imagine what sort of offer could ever entice me to go perm, it would have to basically be extortion for me even to consider it !

This has occurred to me now as I have just sacked off my current contract. I have a high tolerance for management, as long as they leave me alone I will happily play the game.
Occasionally they feel the need to let people know who is the boss and the request I respond well to becomes an unreasonable order that sounds like do this.....or else.
Such a situation occurred monday morning, instead of the usual pouring petrol on, I walked away to let the anger subside, this didn't work and I ended up even angrier. Consequently the next day I advised I was done, preferably that day...
Not sure I am cut out to be a contractor but have you seen the forecast for next week ?!

Not sure you would be cut out to be a permie. You will never be left alone.

Good luck and enjoy your free time - which I suspect may be cut short!

Well played Sir. I reckon there will be envious eyes on you from the rest of the proles still stuck there.
