    permie panic !

    I just prepared a permie job application, my first one in over a decade, I had my finger on the Apply button but just couldn't do it.

    I may weaken. Please help

    Apply and see if you get it. You can always turn it down. You might find the application/interview experience interesting

      You barsteward. You really are the kind of person who'd see someone standing on a bridge ready to jump and then push him. You're supposed to help rescue your chum from permiedom, not send him to an early death.

            How did you feel when you heard you'd got an interview for this position?

                Imagine the interview where they will enjoy turning the screw about your money grabbing greedy background while being precious over lovely cosy warm permiedom and the ability to compete in their world of meaningless one legged corporate arse kicking competitions. If that thought doesn't make you sick, apply!
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    Come along now son, you know you don't want to do it. Think of your contractor family and friends and how they would miss you.
