Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes.
I am currently on a 6 month FTC [so technically sort of contracting] being paid direct from the employer like a permie. Currently my contract ends at the end of Jan and I have a weeks notice in my contract.
I have a new IT manager starting on the 2nd Jan, so s/he will be all new etc and getting grounding when my contract is up so s/he won’t have my past 5 months for review and input to any decision.
The 'team' has not been full i.e. 3 ppl +mgr +trainer for over a year and to see me go at the end of Jan would be not useful [imo] and with planned projects, they will need to keep me [imo]. Of course that is not the real world and they could just let my contract expire. Even the senior person is pushing for a main team of 4 because of the upcoming projects and workload.
Financially and budget wise I have planned for the contract not to be extended or offered perm, and at present updating CV ect for the eventuality of this.
I would like to stay on, but what is the best way of starting negotiations on keeping me on - email, formal letter, and direct visit [bearing in mind a direct visit would not be best imo as HR share an office of 3 ppl]?
I was place via an agency; so would I contact them or go direct to HR?
Any advice would be greatly received
