It's also just one possibility when the permie in question built the system then has been working on it for years.
Then again I'm use to working in teams where we explain why think work will take the time it does...."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

The timescale seems excessive but if he is working with some really awful legacy code then perhaps he is budgeting in time for testing and fixing other related parts of the system. Is he working on other work at the same time?
Most people I meet and work with don't take the piss and if he normally produces good code then perhaps there is more to this than you think, ask him. If he is getting shirty then be honest and say the timescale seems excessive.
Also, I really hate some of the crap you lot talk about perms, most are hardworking and no less talented because they decided on a lifestyle more stable than contracting.Comment
