Wow. Looks like the slow motion car crash this programme has been has now accelerated and gone straight into the wall.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostVery rarely have I done this in 25 years contracting, but I have invoked my months notice period on my contract.
It was still to run to the end of August (which would have been 20 months) but it is debatable whether I would have got another. The guy who I working with has been put on garden leave & one of the big four have been drafted in. The early scouts have started arriving, and now I report to a big four consultant who is working out who they can replace with their own resources at 3 to 4x the same rate.
As expected Big 4 consultant spent the first few weeks take a look and then swiftly closed most of the programme down, two others followed my notice and quit, terminated one other and told the permies that need to reapply for new jobs.
Never had a failed project before, but the second I withdrew my efforts and stopped covering from everyone the brakes came off and it crashed. 11 days to go...What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Alternative interpretation: since you quit, everyone has been partying hard and a perfectly on-track project has now hit the wall because the office is paralytic.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostWow.
