Mrs MF told me MF04 had been off sick yesterday and then just an hour ago received a call to say all three were projective vomiting which is sad.

I on the other hand feel fine, have been basking in glorious sunshine all day and am off out to a restaurant. I feel for you all, I really do.

I don't fookin believe it.

HR hate it when you know more about the law than they do....

WHS,

I've known permies who claim every holiday as sick and have 50 days paid annual leave per year.

You gotta play the system.

The other one is to say you have an ear infection and can't fly back and have 2 months in the Bahamas.

Then nothing more from Doogie.

It's best if you have nothing worth saying to just keep quiet.

Tosspot.

IR35 investigation might never happen, whereas the bank will definitely have your house out from under you if you don't pay the mortgage, so it's pretty obvious which of those is more important.

Make sure your PCG+ is up to date.

(Piece of advice - if the market is really as bad as you're finding it, I'd suggest a more conciliatory tone than "you ****ed this up lads and I just saved your bacon" when you have your client meetings.)
