Benched for the first time since 2018

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Other than a few days between contracts, hit end of a contract last week and didn't ask for a renewal.

At some point will have to start applying and looking but right now this feels awesome.

That's the start of a roast me thread if I ever saw one.

Right now it's so cold and miserable in Manchester that I'm looking forward to a roasting.

Given that you are voluntarily taking the summer off I wouldn't call that benched.

Benched is when you want to work but aren't working...

Or Wenched if you are from Germany?

Benched for the first time since 2018

First holiday since 2018. Checked into a clinic for burn out.

Given he hasn't taken any time off since 2018, I'd call it sad.

He might have had a contract like I did in the noughties, I rocked up about 9:30 did an hour or so's work, went to the pub for a nice lunch & pool then home about 5pm occasionally via the office.

Surprised the client offshored us, but they went from 1 outage a year to one a week of 24 hours...

Muppets!
