I am working for the money, but I am doing that work as a contractor rater than as a permie for other reasons.Comment

The only thing that would make me go permie is a very well paid senior management position within 10 kms of my house so I can cycle to work and back. The likelihood of this is approximately 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%, but not entirely impossible.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

It is not possible for the kind of person who does my kind of work to be a permie. Many organisations have tried, but it just never happens for them.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

I have voted yes - for equivalent positions, if the permie position paid c10-15k more net i would do it.
£15k PA is my price for putting up with permie tulip like performance reviews etc."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I would only go perm for more money, if it included 12 weeks paid holiday a year, and no appraisals or objective setting.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I am into the 4th month of this lovely break from work with over 5 weeks to go until I return to Blighty. The flexibility of contracting knocks permie work into a cocked hat. Or something. I've also had some local beer. End of communique.Comment
