This happened to me twice now and I'm beginning to wonder if contractors should have some sort of employment protection. Without wanting to go into the details my work was of a good standard (dare I say excellent) and I had been with the organisations for a few weeks (one was a couple of months). However, my immediate line manager decided he didn't want to work with me any more and that was it. I would consider both individuals quite immature (dare I say bullies) and because they could terminate me immediately they enjoyed being able to do that, something they couldn't do to a perm staff member.
Both of these contracts were in the public sector so I'm wondering if this is something peculiar to the public sector. As I already mentioned this has happened twice now and it's making me reluctant to consider public sector contracts given how poorly they treat contractors (not to mention the whole IR35 business).
