100k a year, let me guess.....NHS ?

top of the food chain, above banking. I mean banking's good but it's peanuts compared to the public sector

Looks like it: NHS staff paid overtime when off sick

MF:- If you are there could you go sick during your notice?

[bogeyman]

Oh! too late.

After a 3 year stint with company, last two as perm, I decided enough was enough.

Crap hours, crap bosses, poor communication, lack of direction, politics, politics, politics. I quit. I just quit a 100K year job

So now working my notice and going to be finished and gone.

So would this be the time to ask what the market is like?

Good man

It takes real belief in oneself to chuck in a well paid job. I have done it quite few times over the years and I have an album (in my memory) of the looks on the faces on the great and the good when you tell them to shove their ferking job. It's Priceless!

Not sure I would do it in the current climate, but good for you MF. Much respect.

Well done

Been there done that (although it was only 50k for me 3 years ago). Very liberating.. best thing I ever did.

Currently benched, but then that was my choice too as I turned down a tulip renewal a few months back. Enjoy the summer

I don't agree, I think some of us need therapy for our pathological ability to put up with merde for too long.

Seconded. I know I've been guilty of that.

Aye, no nasty public opinion claiming that you are overpaid, even when you waste squillions.

I know some off shore body smugglers who will smuggle bodies for £1.50 p/h

Sorted? When can they start? They can kip in my server cabinet...nice and cosy in there.

Welcome back MF, the market will be quite until the end of the holidays. So take a holiday too, relax

Which holidays? Christmas?

You've got to give him credit - 3 years in the same place.

So, who are you going to deck before you walk out?

[BlackenedBiker]

Too much trouble, IT is not on the shortage occupation list anymore. Know any body smugglers?

You really need therapy for your impulsiveness. Did you lamp a colleague this time?

I have six overseas Marrilion Fans who will do it for £3p/h (actually £1 p/h but I need my cut)

Well done MF

[BlackenedBiker]

Were they OK about a reference ?

OMG NO!!!!!!!! I never asked just use previous refs.

It did come back to bite me year later when I ran into the same cretin in an employer role for a job I wanted.

It was worth it though, I would NEVER again work for such a mule. Life is too short

Must be public sector - hard to believe anybody is actually worth that much in permieland for doing an IT job - unless ... its other (ie Joe Public's ) peoples money ....
