I have been seconded out by my company for 4 years in that time I have not spoken to anyone face to face from my office and only twice on the phone. Its strange I feel more valued and part of a team by the company I am doing consultancy work for. Defiantly not by my employer. As for a Christmas thank you same as every year nothing.

 


I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my war time coat in the wind and sleet.

wow, it sounds like you lot are working at every place i used to work at.

selling your labour for money is like a fellow visiting a shop and buying a mars bar. Its a soul-less transaction.

if you want to feel loved and appreciated buy a dog.

the hire-and-fire economy is a rat race. After bar-steward employer after bar-steward employer, i decided that the future is to have clients and not another bar-steward employer. Happy now.

I used to work freelance.

At JP Morgan, when on call out, you were paid 1 hour for being on call and one hour when called. At Christmas, a hamper was added to the benefits.
*
At Lehman Bros; no pay for call out, no pay for being called. Whatever, in 2007 I volunteered to cover Christmas. No call out pay at all and no other benefits. Not even a thankyou.
*
The following Easter I was told to be on call again. I refused and was told there was no option - I was to do it. "Fair enough", I said, " but the bleeper will be switched off".
*
They were astounded when I declined the offer of a contract extension the following June.
I walked into another job in Streatham with 40% rate increase and no call out.

Lehmans were sh1t meat-marketers and I am so glad I got out 3 months before they went under in Sept 2008. And they can't sue me for libel either !!
