6 weeks in & project has been canned.
Client tells me they're very happy with the work I've done but unfortunately the remaining budget has been syphoned off elsewhere & the project will be shelved until the new financial year.
1 week's notice has been served.

Chin up, get looking. I keep being told that the market is good. Keep in contact with your old gig - you may be lucky and get a 3-monther and then jump back to it.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

They said they would find me stuff to do for the remaining weeks on the contract but I told them (probably totally naively) that once I'd shelved any remaining work and handed everything over to a permie I'd leave - took me just long enough for the pubs to open and I walked out.
Nature of the beast I think and you just have to move on and put it down (once again) to experience. Good luck finding something elseComment

Originally posted by Murder1 View PostI got 8 weeks in and told the same thing quite recently, with the client attempting to blame Brexit uncertainty for the decision to cancel the project.
