Reply to: Last day as a contractor

Oh you poor thing VM - comm'ere

Now don't be a stranger ok?

WTF is a team driving licence?

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought wtf is that? Sounds like useless poncy touchy-feely busywork if you ask me.

Bad enough that office wide meetings here also include contractors

Ohhhhh, that's just nasty!

We have lost another to the dark side, the force is weak with this one.

I find his lack of faith (in contracting) disturbing.

Well, I hid it slightly cos it might give away current permieco but basically I/we had to read endless bollocks about bollocks about a call logging system that sounds like arse and cos you did that and did a mahoosive online test at the end that took your whole day.

Of course nobody helped you with when u shouted the questions out to those who'd done it already, so it's bollocks anyway.

At the end I got a 'team driving licence' cos I passed and was therefore part of a 'team'.

Uber-bollocks or what? 91.66667% I got - woot, beat that VectraMan!

I think I might have worked there (as a contractor, thankfully). It does sound familiar ...

20 minutes to go.

Get used to:

Bonus Appraisals

But it's worse than that, the tradition of permie annual appraisals is that if you do well bonuses are nothing to do with appraisals

Farewell VM.

I'm going the other way, back to contracting - yip-fukn-ee!!

I've had to do a DSE assessment as a contractor and so did all the other contractors on site.

Client co didn't want to be sued for giving us tulip desks and chairs as we weren't allowed to bring our own office furniture in.

Sorry to hear that. I look forward to seeing you as a contractor within 3 months.
