    unfortunately this role came to an abrupt end , they felt i did not look happy in the boring tedious role that was given to me , and said i did not fit in well amongst the team.

    so i took that as a polite way to tell me to f**koff.

      The government has given the banks money to throw around. No surprising you are paid so much.

      A pity the government did not invest the money in construction projects.

          to be honest i probably would have left after a few more months.

          what it did teach me , is money is not a substitute for boredom which i found surprising.

            Would you have happily stayed on for £3,000 pd?

              And for working with nasty people too.

              My very last permie job came to an end early 2013 on Fenchurch Street, City of London. 50k package and from day one it was boring but very political due to a colleague who was a nasty piece of work...a very bitter individual. Anyway, half way through my 2nd week I decided to walk. I just could not take the permie political nonsense anymore.

              2 weeks later I scored my first contract.

                  well i was not welcomed to the current team , not really given any work to do and like you said a few aholes in the team with big mouths talking crap all day, most of them spent most of the day ogling the women in company, all got a bit boring after the first week.

                    Was it a job via an agent? They get upset when you don't get past the 3 month barrier...something like "you've just cost me 5k you ***t!!" was what I was told. LOL
