Some people you can never win over...

So first week into new gig (Yay! Boom!) all okay, going direct, the client came to me behind pimp's back, they were not happy. Schweeet!

Just make sure no one messes with your banana....

Don't know the reasons behind the hatred but I guess just as you can't educate all racist or homophobic people, you can't get people to like or simply understand what we do.

I think comparing disgruntled employees to racist and homophobic people is a tad unfair LOL. I worked with a guy that also hated contractors to the extent he went out of his way to make life difficult. Had a straight talk with him and his problem was the last contractor gave him bad feedback which factored in to his yearly appraisal which directly affected him not getting any more money. Terrible situation so not surprised he was peeved. Very unfair basing appraisals on contractor feedback. Anyway, thrashed it out with him and he was a little better. There is always a reason.

Grats on the direct gig though. Nice win.

Have a contractor hating banana....

However client has 30 day invoice terms so for all those desperate to go direct it isn't always rosey.

However there's one guy here who absolutely hates contractors, he is well known for it. Thankfully he is not in dept I work in but he rarely speaks to them or works with them. Don't know the reasons behind the hatred but I guess just as you can't educate all racist or homophobic people, you can't get people to like or simply understand what we do.


Most odd.

Treat the difficult permie to a few drinks down the local champagne bar to win him over with your largesse.
