This is a struggle I can identify with. Settle into the company couch and pass the popcorn. There is a reason why I return to contract work that has taken some soul searching to discover; I'm just not a Company Man. The big picture isn't the problem for me so much as abiding by the glacial pace demanded as an FTE. Granted, every company runs at a different tempo, but to operate as a unit there has to be syncopation. Despite adjusting to the pace of a project, it's a temporary change, like vacationing in a different time zone. Freelancer/Samurai/Pirate - all suffer the same fate when it comes to community.
