Would you be an IPSE member if it weren't for the insurances offered?

You said updating the text wasn't important (it is).
You then assume my dislike of your utterly amateurish and unprofessional behavior while "representing" IPSE in the outside world means you can discount the points I made above to be incomprehensible.
You are correct in saying something is incomprehensible here. It is incomprehensible that you cannot understand why people who develop and redeploy websites all the time think the website update could have been done better.
Here is some free market research for the IPSE. Do you want to know why I don't belong to the IPSE, as it really is very very simple. The clue is in how it's supposed representatives ( including but especially yourself) appear to many of the general public (and based on few drinks a few months back to many of the MPs you supposedly lobby).Last edited by eek; 5 September 2014, 07:41.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

This year seems to have had a number of problems with the voting system, and reading what has been said, there are tasks in hand to try to address those issues.
I have said on the IPSE forums, and I'll say it here, that if I feel that I can contribute more to the direction of IPSE than the current Council seems to, then I will be standing in the future. I just need to work on getting a 100 word backing statement from someone and two nominees between now and next year.Comment

I especially dislike the current name change argument that 1 aim is to target graduate freelancers where it is assumed they are freelance by choice. Yes they may be a fair number of them but all the ones I deal with would love to have a proper job... And as such protecting them from IR35 is both morally wrong (as its not what they want) and likely to result in cases that are very hard to defend.
You may think I'm joking but I am currently aware of a fair few call centre workers claiming that they are freelance while their hours and loo breaks are dictated by the end client...Last edited by eek; 5 September 2014, 08:50.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Hi,
I've been a PCG member since 1999. A few years ago I had a dreadful IR35 investigation that my PCG insurance paid for and eventually won.
I'm not a huge fan of the way things are done at PCG Towers but I've no wish to engage and change things either so I can't complain. Looking at the IPSE website I can understand why they changed and it's probably a good thing in general.
I'm not sure that I'll ever be an active forum member again but if the chips were down and I had another investigation, IPSE, PCG or whatever would be the first people I'd call.
A...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
