I don't recognise that, and find it to be a rather silly caricature.

Many permies are permies because they don't want the hassle of looking
for new contracts every few months, don't want the hassle of invoicing
and chasing bills and all that nonsense.  Many of us don't want a career
path either - we've found jobs that we like doing, and would just like
to get on with them and not waste our time either in being "promoted" to
management or in messing about with invoices etc.
