    Never let principles get in the way of a good deal

    Have you ever been one of the unfortunate people who have principles (I know we are contractors so we should have handed them in on our last day of permiedom) and what has it stopped you doing. Now I am honest in the fact I would sell my heritage for a good contract, however the best result was me backing someone up when they stuck to their principles!

    When I was a permie the org was given two places at a 3 day conference in Orlando, Florida and I was third in line for the jolly, when booking flights etc it was joked that it would be cheaper to stay for 8 days rather than the 5 as most airplines punish you if you don't stay a Saturday, this meant that the two guys would miss a bank holiday Monday. Guy number two was not happy at not getting a day in lieu as he would be travelling back home on the bank holiday, which he classed as work. I did everything in my power to make sure he stood firm when he said he wouldn't go unless he got an extra day off, right up until I was packing and boarding the flight myself.
