So on top of not getting paid leave and all the other fun perks of being a salaried employee, you often get treated like an ultra suspicious liability when you're self-employed.
I'm about to head to an estate agent because me and DP want to move into a bigger place together. We both make good money and have been SE for years but they still treat you like you're iffy - despite the fact that if you were an employee you could get laid off at any time. I also can't believe how for a lot of things you have to show financial statements etc going back years whereas employees are just asked for their last 3 wage slips. Now for example, going to see an estate agent, I'm going to have to act super reassuring and "convincing" despite the fact I earn multiples of what my in-house counterparts earn. Not a humblebrag just fact.
I love being SE but I fucking hate our "status" in society! /rant over
