Current client is talking about moving from 7.5 hour day to 8 hour day with 4 days per week for the permies.
Contractors not mentioned. They can fook off if they think they're paying me 4 days....
(Of course, I wont kick off quite yet until I see whats going on. I made that mistake once when a client asked me to work 12 hours, nigths evenings etc. I thought "sod off". Then they said, we'll pay you 1.5x day rate for 12 hours, 1.5x for nights, 1.5x for saturday, 2x for sunday. All cumulative. So sunday night 12 hours was 4.5x normal day rate. OK I;ll do it!!!!)

In reality what will happen is they will impose it, you'll moan like stink on here and the accept it like a good little permatractor.... and then moan like stink about it for the next 10 years.
