They then go back to the bin and retrieve the CVs they binned.
Ahh...what would us contractors do without dumb permies?"Progressiveness is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead socialists such as Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Vladimir Lenin and Adolf Hitler."

Ahh yes. The permies at this company are looking for Norman. We all know him, That's the contract test manager on the floor in every ftse 250 company. Norman is in his early 50s who has been there for 4 years on a crap rate because he isn't good enough to be offered anything better elsewhere.Last edited by Bluenose; 23 May 2015, 09:52.Comment

I heard a couple of permies discussing contractor CVs, only yesterday by coincidence.
"Mark, you were at Megacorp Industries. Did you know this guy Bill Bloggs?"
"Um, doesn't sound familiar. Oh wait, I seem to recall hearing that someone called Bill had threatened to punch his manager."
"Well we don't want someone like that. Right, what about this next CV."
"Actually, it may have been someone else."
"This next CV looks interesting. Let's invite them in for an interview." ...Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
