I used to do it for the Cheques, they could of done a bank transfer to pay the occasional day jobs I did for them but had to take my contact out for beers and pick up the cheques signed by the muppet who made me angry enough to leave.
I would walk down to the bank admiring his signature!

I think it depends on the company.
SOME companies do have a great working enviroment, even for permies, and you do build up a real bond there as a fellow permie.
So in those circumstances it is OK, ney good, to keep in touch.

Sometimes the key to a long contract can be encouraging others to stop moaning about how much you earn and make the jump themselves

Sad twats.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostWell, of course that option is open to them, but they don't take it. They'd rather whine about other people allegedly earning so much more than them.

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostI do feel sorry for some permies - they don't want to risk leaving permiedom for lack of a buffer to protect them from the bench. At the same time they are sick of permiedom because it isn't getting them anywhere.....
The only way I was able to escape was by risking it all and just leaving with no savings whatsoever. I found the choice being between getting depressed and risking it all to escape from the prison I felt I was in.

80% of permie office people are unbearably dull or annoying, the only reason I sit in the same building as them is because of my daily rate.
