#177902 - "Permanent" (sic) staff

... it settles naturally to an equilibrium where there is a balance between permanent (sic) staff and contract staff.

These days, so-called "Permanent" (sic) staff are quite possibly no more permanent than some contractors!
The days of the job for life are gone!

On a personal note, as a contractor, I enjoy the lack of bullshit and office politics. The client needs some work done, I do it, they pay me. I don't do annual appraisals, pay reviews, personal development goals.

Agreed
:-)

The down side of contracting is that I have to be a business man, salesman, bookkeeper, IT support and tax collector.

Agreed
:-(
