Probably explains why she's bandy legged lol.

Or the black eyes and broken shop window.

Oooer, controversial, eh?

[pacharan]

Why would that be?

According to the girl who serves in my local pub, you never go back once you've gone black.

So I should be buying Oil rather than Gold?

Can you speak up a bit? I can't hear you!

You must not be paying me enough.

HTH

[Churchill]

In my experience, the more they pay you the more they listen to you.

I always ask for a mega rate, for this reason.

Of course, I would definitely go back for a decent daily rate. I have done that before. Strangely I was respected much more as a “highly paid” contractor than a permie, even though I was not much smarter or experienced just a year out of the permie position.

As others say, depends why you left. In the last 15 years I've been at bigbank clientco 7 times. Different departmens most times, but many companies like that idea that you hit the ground already familiar with processes and people.

My favourite was being asked back to run a project to get rid of a previous ar5e of a boss and his department. I'd have done that one for free

[NotAllThere]

I'd do it. It'd be a laugh. I nearly did it this summer, but the most senior guy in the authorisation food chain , who I had at one time made look like the idiot he is, remembered me and declined to authorise the PO.

Worked out ok, as I didn't really have the time to do the work, and only agreed to do it, because the project manager asked me, as a favour. He was bloody furious with the senior muppet.

Go on then........we can't advise without the facts

[SimonMac]

If you're going back to somewhere you used to be perm, but at decent contract rates, then what's the problem ?

If an ex g/f called you and asked you to f**k her for more money, would you say no ?

Depends why you left

[doodab]

Yes, sometimes.

[TestMangler]

Just had a call from a pimp asking would I consider going back to a former place of work, I was permie last time but this time it would be contract.

Like ex girlfriends is it ever a good idea to go back?
