Supposed new contract with HCL

[LondonManc]

I've heard of HCL doing similar in the past - using your CV to get the work then subbing two of their own grunts in to actually (try and) do it.

Nope no references they never asked as I worked there before. The end client specifically chose me as I have worked with the same team before......

In that case that is a bit crap. Going back to an old client and they do this dam annoying.

Then I would send a note to the end client via LinkedIn saying something along the lines of ‘shame it didn’t work out this time, no hard feelings, maybe next time! ’

You might find out more about why it didn’t work out…

So it appears it might actually be a genuine situation that the project has stalled and you are no longer needed. It happens all the time even with reputable companies. The fact it's HCL means you've got to wade the the mire of excuses, penny pinching and other silly games they play but it might actually be a genuine situation in this case.

Its 100% genuine alright for me just super frustrating they play these silly games at the last moment!

Anyone who has worked for them I'm sure will have anecdotes concerning their payment terms and their constant excuses why payments have been delayed, their attempts to part-pay invoices, reneging on contract terms etc. Also worth asking your Indian colleagues working for Wipro, TCS or Infosys whether they would consider working for HCL. The answers will be revealing.
