Reply to: Are you Happy at your Work ?

This might be a reason why contractors are never ill, as well as the obvious financial one. Maybe 'happy' is pushing it, but most contractors go to work without being particularly bothered by it.

Choose life.

Choose a job.
Choose a starter home.
Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage.
Choose your future.

But why would anyone want to do a thing like that ?
Just go contracting.......

when I was a permie I was unhappy all the time, managers trying to hunt you down like a sport, they all seemed to be clueless about what I was actually doing they were mostly malicious, when they attacked I fought back and a tonne of problems enused. I got so tired of the cr*p bonuses, 0 pay increases, lies and lack of training I just bunked off work to make up for it.

When I was a contractor I was respected, I could walk away from all the sh*t and felt somewhat distanced from the constant politics, I earned more and was respected more, I worked hard and delivered because the incentive was there to do so. I was much happier.

Solution: Do not go permie ever again, give it up ... its a mugs game. Do contracting instead, excel at what you do and the reward will come along with your success.

Work related stress??

I never knew sitting at you desk reading magazines all day, playing games or building your own website caused work-related stress...I learn something new every day...

[AlfredJPruffock]

My oh my guess who else is unhappy and cant face work...

From front page of CUK

Tax collectors take more days off work than any other civil servants, official data has revealed.

Revenue and Customs staff took an average 12 days each off work during 2004, making them by far the worst across Whitehall for claiming sick days.

No I am not HAPPY
Emotional burnt out, zero self-esteem, anxious and depressed.
This contrat SUCKS like a thousand sucky things

Caesar's double-bed is warm
As an unimportant clerk
Writes I DO NOT LIKE MY WORK
On a pink official form.
