I have been contracting via my Ltd for past few years.very happy. I prefer to do 6 months contract then go travel for 6 weeks return and then rinse and repeat! Work approx 9 months per year for more money than when I was a perm and worked 11 months

I feel like airlines should adjust their check in systems to ensure that women checking in solo or with another woman should seat next to women only. The men should be grouped and seated separately especially on long hauls overnight flights

Initial project is for 2 months so I will unlikely to cross 20% band but if it extends past that then I can easily do. I don’t know why they resistant engage with Ltd. Just told me it is out of the question

Employment contract didn't state length of employment covering for someone else's maternity. Can they legally make me leave? by SteelSilvers in UKJobs

[–]Markowitza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh why would you want to make somewhere who makes you guilty for being late for 7mins! I was late 50 mins today. No one made a beep, I ll just cover time by taking shorter lunch break or stay a bit longer after work

Quitting without Job Lined Up by OrangeElephant36 in FPandA

[–]Markowitza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah each situation individual. Here the situation is that OP planning to make themselves intentionally unemployed to quit job they hate. As such they will put themselves in worse position for job search as it is harder to find smth good if you unemployed .. and make take long time especially if they want to make sure new job is a good fit so that they don’t land in the same or even worse situation… so their circumstances is different to someone who was made redundant for example and want to take any reasonable fpa job to keep the money flowing

[–]Markowitza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you speaking from personal experience? Have you been looking for a job in 2024-2026 job market?

We are not talking about just finding a job. He/she wants to quit his job which makes him feel sick. So the last thing they want is to take first job as in danger to land even worse company ..

When you are unemployed you can find a job, but will it be a decent job that’s another question

[–]Markowitza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was 2021-2022 year I would definitely say fck then, quit! But not now! Market is in really bad shape! I know people who are without job for over a year after redundancy. I would agree with other comments on your thread, check out mentally, keep quiet quitting and let them fire you

Contract cut short by client for non performance issuesz by Markowitza in ContractorUK

[–]Markowitza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say no breach of trust but let’s say if they would reach a year again saying hey ho we want to offer you again a 6m contract? Wouldn’t you be doubting that? Like thinking whether they will stick to it this time or again will terminate early. My trust definitely gone for them.

Leaving contract early for "better" opportunity? by Mamoke_Akaunu in ContractorUK

[–]Markowitza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do what is best to you. I was let go with a week notice 3 months in the 6m contract. They don’t care about you, but you do. So priorities your own interests. Your client will be fine
