    One of the things that drives me mad about present day onboarding is the sheer volume of information that they want that gets duplicated (triplicated for my last role). e.g. they want details of every conract I performed in the last 5 years and I had to fill in 3 subtley different forms all wanting variations on the same thing.

    Can't there just be a standard industry template for this kind of stuff??
    Well, they are not forcing you to take up the role so feel free to tell them to feck off and shove their onboarding up their arses.

        1. You can undergo the process while still working for your previous contract (I have done it).

        2. Who the f**k wants to work more than 220 days/year anyway, work to live, don't live to work.

          1 - The role came up when I still had a week to run with my last client. It look them from the 13th until the 26th to arrange an interview. On the 2nd they decide to offer it to me and on the 9th made the offer. Then they added the 4 weeks on boarding.

          2 - I do. I want to take time off when I want, not when it's convenient for them.

          I've other irons in the fire.....fingers crossed
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!
