Reply to: stirring permies

You've just reminded me of a happy day I had forgotten from some years ago when a permie said to me:

"Why do you just smile at me when I'm trying to wind you up? You know that just winds me up even more don't you? And that means I'll just make things worse for you. Why don't you say something?"

Light dawns.

"Oh no. You're thinking about money, aren't you? God, how I hate contractors."

Happy days.

Yeah, I have to deal with some A1 @ssholes here - just keep reminding yourself of how much more you are paid

A contractor was stirring it up yesterday with the permies he worked with. Came in this morning, the fukka had been "released" from his contract

You're just digging for links, aren't you?

Actually that's what most of us coupled-up guys on this forum do when we're at home ( oh and atw). We don't need to go trawling through bars and clubs in a futile search for a bird

Whilst giving him loads of beer, tell him how easy it is to quit and become a contractor for £.
You will convert him from a contractor hater into a contractor wannabee.
Next, point him at this forum and let slip the dogs of war.

And then get one of your contractor mates elsewhere to phone him up pretending to be a pimp, get a copy of his cv etc. etc. Set up an "interview"
for him, send him off somewhere on the other side of town insisting it must be middle of the working day. Fax a copy of his CV and fake job spec with interview details etc. to a fax machine on your floor while he's out.

... or just post a fake cv with his name and direct line no on jobserve, cwjobs etc. and he will get no end of annoying calls for the next few weeks.

Whilst you're surfing for pron at the weekend, just use his email address for everything. And by everything I mean visit some of the more elaborate sites reserved for people with 'wider tastes than the norm'

I used to subscribe a particular head-up-his-bum IT manager to every mailing list I could think of until I realised I was probably doing him a favour. Ditto might apply for the kinky sites. After all, permies are used to kissing bums and licking boots and taking crap so who knows what other perversions they do in their own time?

All very good ideas but I think we're missing the obvious here.

theres a permie here that hates contractors! theres about 8 contractors here at my clcient and there is one permie who has tried to drop us all in the brown stuff, for example walks behind someone and shouts 'surfing the net again...' or just generally tries to make peoples lives miserable by loggin the times people come in in the morinings etc....

suggestions on how to deal with this pratt?

a) Does he ever leave his PC unattended? If so, there are over 12,000 options available. Just don't get caught.

b) Print off a copy of the PCG "Guide to Freelancing" and leave it on his/her desk after he/she has gone home. Works best if you know they won't be in tomorrow. Keep doing this. Within 5 days the bod will be asking discreet questions about going contracting...
