Worried if i turn down extension I will be axed

[Ketchup]

I was thinking the same as I am working in Holborn on a reporting solution for a large supermarket!

Not the same one as me, my one is not just any supermarket

Mate! Take the extension .....

Before you get to your travel date - (Trust me .. you will come up with a solution ) ..

(Always works for me)

Couple of the other posters on here work at supermarkets, Vetran, for example collects trolleys at Lidl, and he is very good at it, think hes got s sniff of some checkout work if he keeps it up!

Are you applying for the visa now? I would let the client know once you have applied for the visa. Let them know that depending on the visa outcome, you would be leaving in September. This is assuming that your visa approval time is the same or greater than your notice period. If not, I would tell them one notice period early before September (if its 4 weeks, then August). That way you would be within your rights, and the client can find someone to replace you and do KR. Meanwhile, I would take the extension.

Other people have told you to find a subsitute.

So tell the client you can't do the work but one of the contractors you know can then go and find someone who can do the work.

I plan to go abroad for 6 months in February, but am worried that if i turn down the extension, they will get someone in (cheaper) who will stay until the end.

Hell, I would just take the extension. A lot can happen in the 10 months before you go away so don't sweat it.

When it comes to the time, just tell them you are off and give them plenty of notice to handover to a replacement.

I've worked for a Northern based supermarket that is rapidly going down the pan. Senior management absolutely clueless.

I have also had an interview with a supermarket based in Hertfordshire that left me wondering if someone might have sold my car whilst in the office, such was the culture. However, I expect that explains why they are more sucsessful than the Northern one.

M&S are more of a retailer than a supermarket!

Spent 18 months there, getting paid to spend 1.5 hours (most days) on the shuttle bus to Stockley Park!
