Reply to: to gig or not to gig

you may laugh, one of the pimps I deal with is an ex contractor who works with the company I'm leaving and as he's trying to fill my role, he has to find me summat else!

Regular 1-1s with pimp and client and also they have incentive bonuses based on performance, away days etc.... They're even throwing an xmas dinner for all contractors who work through them.

Won't be long before he starts behaving like a proper pimp.

At least do the decent thing and see if anyone here might be able to do it!!

Yes Sir!

A lot of things can happen for both of you in 6 months so would certainly consider leaving as an option if your so unhappy. If you stick it through it's gonna eat u alive which you will take out on your home life etc etc.

Tell us what you decide though!!

Might be hypothetical but will help with piece of mind maybe??

Not helping home life currently or my liver for that matter

Have been approached by an ex-clientco so will be chatting about that tomorrow (not ideal, but....).

Have a couple of irons in fire at another place, but it's been dragging for some time.

Doesn't help that hippy pimp (who doesn't like to call himself a pimp, don't ask) is getting on my nerves re renewal and notice periods.

I asked a similar question a few weeks back and, partly based on the consensus of sensible answers here , decided to stay.

Wasn't there a couple of issues which helpded that decision or was I thinking of wrong thread.

OP seems to be in a situation where she is more than comfortable to be away from this both financially and mentally. I would say that pretty much answers it to be honest.

What I would do is what ctdctd says and actively look for something else for a set period of time just for piece of mind. I think if you have a go at this then you will never be able to look back and regret your decision. You can shrug your shoulders and say well you tried to get another job. If you just quit you could look back and say I wish i hadn't done that.

In hindsight, I'm glad I did. Better another three months during the winter than not.

My commute is only three hours total though and I've got rusty radiators that don't need bleeding.

Stay and keep looking for alternatives IMO.

Have reached an impetus with current gig

Impasse?

[suityou01]

About as much as last night's blockage.

HTH

[suityou01]

wouldn't bother me, spent copious amounts of time at home with him last year (I was benched and he was off work after having back surgery).

Exercise your right of substitution and get some other poor schmuck to do it for you.
