Anything I can do

[Number9]

Brief story

Started a contract 12 working days ago, everything going great, good feed back, on day 10 the business asked if I would go premy, I said no in a nice way explaining, day 12 they have given me 1 week notice, looks like I've been on trial here, great feedback, then offered job, said no, sacked.....

Left a good contract at the FCO for this and they waited for my notice period too, stitched up like a kipper

Any ideas people

[Zippy]

I don't think there is anything you can do apart from leave. Barstewards.

Could you go back to the FCO?

[Menelaus]

Canute-nuggets.

If you got it via a pimp I'd kick up merry hell.

WHS

If the pimp wasn't in on it they would have spent time and effort recruiting for a gig that didn't really exist and will be losing out on comission for no good reason.

So:
You exercise your notice period and terminate the FCO contract early - no problem.
Your new client exercises their notice period and terminates the contract early - stitched up!!

aww, diddums

Bummer, sorry to hear that.

If it was me, I would ask the client why they are terminating you bearing in mind the good feedback they have given.

Obviously, you need to do this in a nice way and play dumb in that not tying the conversation into their recent request for you to go permie.

You'll also, potentially, be able to find out if they have recruited a permie to replace you.

If not, then surely they need you on board until they find one.

BTW, what type of work is it?

[rhubarb]

Agree to take the permie role, then on your first day, resign.

No, agree to take the permie role, then on your first day throw a sickie. And keep that sickie going as long as you can.
