    Saturday Morning Working

    Just done a two hour stint, which I have landed up doing every f-cking weekend since I got this contract.

    Monday morning is the manic day, followed with saturday morning.

    Never mentioned during the interview.

    Some companies just take the piss.

      Admittingly I was up at 5 and sat on the sofa while doing the wrok.

      But it's work nevertheless!!!

        Absolutely. The company I'm at at the minute, has only 1 client that I'm aware of... Thats Sonys.. and they/we do most of the Sony.co.uk and sony europe stuff.

        Sadly, they are otherwise small time, and exist outside of London in a small town in Hertfordshire..

        They take the piss, and make an art of it. If they weren't so bloody crap at organisation, they wouldn't need to pay thousands for me month after month after month to come in and do the work for them.. So it's a 2 edged sword really.

        Sadly, most of those thousands go to the Tax man and the thieving Agency bastards.. who take a whopping 30%

        Ok, I think I'm feeling better after that...
        To be or not to be... or get someone else to be, and take the slack for it.
