Don't forget to prepare for your 360, annual review, et al.

That's what keeps me away from permie, even more than the money. I just want to do my job.

Go for it and take a back seat. When you feel circumstances are better, return to contracting and blag your CV accordingly.

This would be my approach for sure.

simples

Just had the call from HR asking what my future plans were and whether my preference would be to come on board as a full time employee as that would be theirs. Apparently they want the security of having the knowledge in house etc.

I explained that I would rather stay as a contractor and she replied that she would speak to MD about it.

Argh - warchest is low and Mrs MUN is currently recovering from an operation. I was so wanting to reduce stress levels for the next month or two!!!

Explain closing down a company is not simple as you need to bring all your tax affairs up to date etc, but would be quite willing to take a permie job if they offered you a 12 month ext now.

You could push for a Directorship to show you're serious about being perm with them, and share options, current daily rate x 1000 as salary, but daily rate x 500 as pension contributions per year (Indexed linked) etc etc

MFs missus is still on the straight and narrow.

By straight and narrow, do you mean the canal tow-path again?

There's an open invitation if ever I saw one

It wouldn't have been if no one had quoted me as even if he saw it he would have to pretend he didn't!

It was the best example I could think of which was also a reference that CUKers would get.

[Bellona]

Oh yes - that I would have no problem with. The problem is that it is about as likely as d000hg sending me a valentines card.

Shares. You want shares if you're going perm.

then that's your answer to HR. If MF can do it.

nothing wrong with being permie if the take home is the same.
