MaryPoppins did. At the Christmas Party.

Typhoid Mary?

That's because they go in and infect the permies.

I’ve never seen a contractor take a day off sick in 20 years

Also I've known contractors who contracts were ended immediately when they have had heart attacks or terminal cancer.

Not hard for you to Google the benefits of exercise.

OK, just for tulips and giggles, 1 hour cycle, 20 mile swim, 12 hour cycle.
Not going to do that.

It kills the weakest thereby reducing long-term sickness numbers.

[GhostofTarbera]

Nope.

It means people can exercise to and from work so get sick less. The permies also can get bikes on the cycle to work scheme.

All offices I've worked in the last 5 years have had more than one shower. You either have to find a shower that is not used a lot - always near where the sales and marketing team is situated - or if you are male go on the loose "rota".

If there is a shower in the office, then it is a warning sign that either people are paid so little, they cannot afford to bath at home or they are expected to live in the office.

It's 3500 miles so I'll probably give it a miss

Not really. Loads of permies cycle to my client site. There's also a gym on site. Come to think of it in the past 30 years i've been working, there's a shower on site more often than not.

Perhaps it's just you who has crap clients.
