Originally posted by BackupBoy View PostIt’s just the first enforced three-week Christmas break I’ve encountered in many years. My current contract runs until late March.
Btw Since I started working in IT I only have had one client who wanted me in over Christmas and New Year. I was p*ssed as not even my permie employers tried that."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Three (!) week Christmas contractor furlough
Originally posted by SueEllen View PostOn your death bed you will clearly say "I wish I spent more time invoicing in December 2017".
I don’t care that much. I’m on holiday next week, my choice, my financial hit.
It was the fact that it was three weeks that made it unusual in my experience.
Lesson learned.Last edited by BackupBoy; 12 October 2017, 07:55.Comment
