Petiness in the office
Discussion
Small whinge. I've been in my current role 4.5 weeks. Started as a contractor. Two weeks in they offered me a perm role at 44% of my rate.
I politely declined, looked for another job and found somewhere more suitable. I'm on a weeks notice but have sat here doing nothing because there is nothing assigned to me. I asked whether I can just take tomorrow off and save them some money.
"No you need to be here. It's easier if you are."
Only this morning I heard the boss slagging me off because I have "left them in the lurch".
Why can't some people see the wider picture?

Oh indeed. I did tell him it's money in my bank so I'm not overly bothered.hing. You earn more than your boss, for less work. Who's the mug? Let him bh, we all know he's jealous.

I'm not getting this - you started somewhere as a contractor and now four weeks in you're leaving and going elsewhere?
Hows that not leaving them in the lurch?
What have i missed?
The place i'm with regularly ask contractors to take permanent jobs, we just politely decline their kind and generous offer and keep taking their money.
Some of us have been doing it for years because they cant get permie staff.
We dont leave?
It's a terrible job, and they realised how much a contractor costs. Which is why they now want a permie.I'm not getting this - you started somewhere as a contractor and now four weeks in you're leaving and going elsewhere?
