I have 'acquired' responsibility for 30+ staff

Most impressed, me. The last time I acquired any responsibility the staff in question all formed a little group and dived over the nearest cliff, chittering madly as they went.

Tell 'em to stick it, it feels good !
I have had a business bulls**t, all talk no action, southern consultant type dropped into my area.
Everytime he asks me a stupid question or for help doing something damn routine I think I have made the right decision to leave...

. Also, I feel like a semi-permy here.

What do you think?

the 'Ask Milan' thread.

I'm in a similar position - got told there was no extension, now an extension might be available but it looks like the conditions (team, rate, deliverables) will be worse. Also, I feel like a semi-permy here.

Do I break out of the comfort zone and try and find a new gig, or stick with this?

ahh,

too subtle for me, my interpretation was you saw a picture of yourself, man of principles and unsuccessful, and were naturally offended by what you saw in the mirror

Milan.

[ratewhore]

no problemo,

it was funny all the same, very amusing how the 'some of the most unsuccessful people I know' sentence got your goat :-)

Milan.

That was my subtle way of inferring like attracts like MB. Perhaps it was too subtle...

[milanbenes]

Milan.

[ratewhore]

I do resent being called a dipshit by Milan of all people!!!

some of the most unsuccessful people I know are those with principles

I imagine you know plenty of unsuccessful people Milan!

Personally, I think Cyberman hit the nail on the head - The secret is not to become a slave to money. Of course, Milan has no choice as tape changing doesn't pay that well...
