    Its a hard life. Sometimes permie team leaders are like this. Mine is - he got this idea in his head that permies could work from home but me, as a contractor could not. Its bollacks really but, at the end of the day when I signed up WFH was never on the table so I can't "expect it". Do I moan about? Of course I do. Do they get favours from me any more - do they ****... But end of the day, its easy public sector gig and rate is decent.

    I'll just hang on until this guy gets promoted and an easy gig may turn into a piss easy gig if next team leader allows it ;-)

    Point being OP - suck it up or leave.
