Why it was too risky in your previous relationship (if not secret)? Because of children or because your wife didn't work?I actually earned more money last year than at any other point in my life (much to the delight of the British tax man) but yeah get it. In a previous relationship I absolutely wouldn't have taken the chance on being self employed. It was just too risky.
Well she was slavic...that's all I'm sayingWhy it was too risky in your previous relationship (if not secret)? Because of children or because your wife didn't work?
Asking because of curiosity how does it "work" in western relationships: whether women should work or it's more or less like in Slavic families (where men are "head of families" and rather they're working while women are more on "home work") ?![]()

EXCLUSIVE: I understand Jeremy Corbyn has not agreed to join the new left party with Zarah Sultana yet
He is furious and bewildered at the way it has been launched without consultation.
Looks like she caught Corbyn off guard hahaha

Yeah IR35 ended it but by then the Traffic Commissioners where telling people like me to have nothing to do with them. It was a bit of a half way house. If you had set routes/contracts etc it was always more cost effective to employ drivers despite the pensions etc because agency drivers were/are very expensive. These drivers were a bit of a half way house and I think ultimately the agencies were the ones to make the biggest fuss out of it because they lost their monopoly on HGV drivers for a few years...then Brexit happened and we'll you know the rest.Yeh was thinking whether there were also
IR35 issues and they really were employees but for the company and should have been under PAYE. But if they were only here for a certain parts of the year they were not ordinarily resident here so no NIC. Your company also wouldn't want to pay employer's NIC, and so another way to reduce costs and put all the tax admin on those drivers.

Wonder if Trump will bring this up to Benjamin Netanyahu the way he did to the South African leader... Won't hold me breath.

Agents are sharks whatever business they’re in. They’re the ones that have sold these so called umbrella companies to self employed contractors to avoid tax/NICs without taking any responsibility for the consequences.Yeah IR35 ended it but by then the Traffic Commissioners where telling people like me to have nothing to do with them.

Unsurprised by JP Morgan, my American overlord have a very similar attitude. Although I do agree office working helps a lot in certain circumstances but it requires the entire team to be in.I've noticed it's getting worse and worse in the sector I'm working for example. My employer is not even the worst, I've heard JP Morgan (office in Warsaw) just made 100% office work and completely removed home office....we have 60% home office,but will move to 50% next year. Also, they're cutting benefits for employees step by step. It also strongly impacts atmosphere among employees..I even started to think to change the field of work (and I was pretty happy with my work all last years)
There is a person in my office who is the only member of his team in the office. Likewise other offices only have 1 member of the team in them. They spend most of their time on teams anyway to communicate so the idea they need to be in the office is laughable.Unsurprised by JP Morgan, my American overlord have a very similar attitude.

Yeah thats what I was getting at, if I can go talk to a person physically there are massive advantages to face to face communications. But that only works if we all are. I spend my entire life on teams because I have to communicate with Canada (ideally I should spending 25-33% of my time in office out there).There is a person in my office who is the only member of his team in the office.

We're all also on teams and most of the team sit pretty far from each other when working from the office... I wouldn't say office working really helps team spiritThere is a person in my office who is the only member of his team in the office. Likewise other offices only have 1 member of the team in them.
