An easing of the bitterness from all those years of servitude and under-performance while the bigger boys and girls spotted an opportunity and earned a mint.

Happy to report that we're mostly still earning a mint and those who return to permiedom will probably do so temporarily until another opportunity arises, whether here or overseas. That's the thing about contractors, they don't sit on their backsides wishing things were different.

(OP: sorry to derail your thread, but this is probably good for General now )

Yep, spot on, a tactical move I've called it. But given said permie role I'm now in is 12 miles away from home along quiet rural roads but paying city salary, so far so good :-)

Interesting that you then chose to join a contractor forum. What did you hope to achieve or contribute?

Never been a contractor for a day in my life, never been in a job that would warrant a contractor employment type.

That’s the point, many contractor roles should be classified as perm

And you weren't good enough to be a contractor?

And you weren't good enough to be a contractor?

In all seriousness - if I was perm getting a poor salary like £300-400 per week as contractors around me earned sensible money, I'd probably have a large chip on my shoulder too.

Ouch.

No, spent years around “contractors” who are now bitching about being caught out and having to join the real world

And you weren't good enough to be a contractor?
