Well haven't been around for a while as my contract finished and went on holiday (Mexico). But now I've come back and accepted a management job. Let's see how it goes. Pay is excellent and I can do some serious bullying of Franco-types . I intend to sit in my own office and "strategise" in between some light surfing.

Don't try to make being a permie sound cool.
You are some managers bitch and you will spending you time filling in 360 degree appraisal forms and wondering if you are on the redundency list whilst the contractors boast about earning £800/day and paying £5K a yr in tax.
Get a grip man. -

I can't see any difference in your work commitment anyway, is there one?I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

eh?
Dim,
Not trying to sound cool, old bean. Not sure its the right move either.
But I'm running a department and my boss is based in France, so I can generally do what I want. Its a doss and pays very well - although not quite top-end contracting rates.
What I really want is to get out of IT, and this is the first step. I'll try to move sideways soon - or I can always go back to contracting.Hard Brexit now!

In my previous contract I had my own office in a beautiful 17th century room, complete with marble fireplace and wooden door.
Needless to say, I spent most of that contract sleepingComment

milk it
If I was you, I would use the permie role to enhance your "personal development" and "career progression". Spot the permie buzzwords.
Many years ago you needed SSADM to do any government gigs. Then it was Prince 2. Now it's ITIL. Get all that using the disguise of personal development. They are paying after all !!!
While you're at it get all the other courses that seem available to permies like the managements courses where they stick you in a hotel in the middle of nowhere, for a week. Enjoy. Let the contractors do the real work ...Comment
