I was on 1 site for just over a year, while they were experiencing high turnover. It turned into a running joke after a while. One time after one of their guys had just handed in notice, the conversation went something like:
- "I don't suppose you want x's job do you?"
- "Nope but thanks for asking"
- without even looking up from the adjacent urinals we were using at the time.

I was asked just over a year ago, and about 4 months ago if I'd like to apply for a permie position. I politely declined, and they found someone else.

I'm still contracting with them.

same. Got a rate increase too. don't ask me to explain the logic

[Jog On]

There is no Permie in the office to ask me, 3 layers above me are contractors. Don't know anyone above that

Do you like being underneath an IT contractor?

[Ardesco]

half the places I have worked have asked me if I'd like to go permie, par for the course IMHO.

[The Lone Gunman]

Where is the "chance would be a fine thing" option?

[BankingContractor]

For permie conversions, isn't there a DayRate multiple to calculate the permie salary?

I asked the boss of this company about a permanent position. I said to myself, “there is no such thing as permanent. Just make hay while the sun shines as it will all end in tears some day”. He’s a wise man.

Went for a permie interview this morning. He even mentioned how much the canteen has improved in an effort to convince me.

Just yesterday!

Today is the last day on the job.

Agent asked if I'd be interested in a premie job, I say's 'I'm no that desperate yet'

[Board Game Geek]

Funnily enough, about a year and a half ago, I did ask if they would consider taking me on as a permie, as they could make considerable cost savings by doing so.

Nothing's changed since then.

Ah well...you try and help some people....
