The more I work contracts and see contractors around me, the more I realise that security for permies is just a myth...
If you are a contractor with sought after skills, then you tend to be kept on. Permies in cushie jobs are the ones that tend to go first. Not only that but I have found in big organisations that for every permie there is a contractor doing the real work......
Not only that but because you are in a "risky" profession, you will tend to work yourself into a very strong position, ironically
Welcome to the secure way to work - contracting (only if you are any good that is)!
