That's funny, it really is. You come here pontificating and abusing everyone and have the temerity to call me a

Honestly, very funny.

Still a permie posting on a contractor board, getting his turns from abusing people.

yes, for £££ + VAT, as it's my intellectual product after all. it's not included in the base package though. (which really just barely gets me out of bed)


Ah, so that explains why so many here are so grumpy.

IIRC, you sign that Intellectual product away with the T&C's of most contracts....

Oh good, he's started the escalation phase of this sockie. The pattern now is increasing rudeness then a short ban, followed by a promise to behave before ending up getting banned permanently. Then the next incarnation is born.

It's kind of beautiful, the cycle of sockie.

He's incredibly easy to push over the edge too.

Lets be honest most contractors are temps.
You are offering training,

But most go in sit on a seat and get told what to do.

What's your excuse other than you're a who's been banned previously, what's the attraction to this forum?

Or it could be that certain arseholes get themselves perma-banned, create another ID and start again. Little realising that however hard they try, certain little things give the game away.

It's an easy option for lots here.

I disagree, so I am going to try and discredit them.

Cheap shots, thats all.

Experience.

Why is it that whenever a contractor has a post count less than 100, all regulars leap on him and call him a troll, and express opinions so contrarian that they end up sounding like sock puppets for agents and/or Hector?

Nah 71 (although as he hasn't called admin a wazzock yet probably 72,000).

Technically I think this should be wazzak as Urban dictionary has 2 entries for this with wazzock only having 1. Wazzack also has one entry but that appears to relate to the foreskin of a donkey so not quite the same...

HTH

I'm a temp wherever I go. I know that. The niche area I work in means all my work is project based, and I am in when they start, out when they finish. I don't source the roles, apart from when previous companies come back for me and I charge a premium because I understand all of the above.

When the government stop me working this way, I'll work somewhere else, or I will do something else.

It's life, it happens.
