    I have faith in Jesus

    It's just something I would never do from my side. I sign a contract with my eyes open and always see it out. Not having a go at ppl that do, just not my thing. If I have a problem I just refuse an extension when it comes along.

      To be fair this is the first role I've had which is a lot less technical and more higher level/conceptual. Top end rate which also means it's the first to go to cut costs. Was a good run while it lasted. Have a solid 6 months in the bank to cover me.

          Can you explain how this is relevant to the OP being given notice?

                  Also excited to be back on the market to look for next challenge! Plan B is in good shape too with options for me to setup my own consultancy.

                    Everything that has happened is the fault of Brexit.

                      I may end up going to Germany for some Big Data/Analytics work...... definitely the fault of Brexit.
