Terminated

[Troll]

Uh Oh ! I see a permie type attachment to the contract, you need to cut it !

If I remember rightly you've been having a bit of trouble with some bods there for a while, if there is conflict and if you are the type to speak your mind then eventually you are shown the door, its a fact of life. I'd grit your teeth, shut your gob as much as possible and work out your 28 days on a strict 9 to 5 basis. After years of speaking my mind and being shown a few doors I now try very very hard to keep stum and concentrate on sending in my invoices on a regular basis. Use up your energy outside of work ! Sermon over !

I've been given 28 days (to work out !!!), wish it was in leiu, that would be too reasonable I expect. Not sure I'll do it though, I'll probably walk in a week or so, it's too soul destroying to be there knowing you're not wanted.

I was walked out...then again I had somehow managed to delete the product without backup only a couple of days before.

I've never been walked out, although termination has happened where there was a clash with senior guys.. so what! it was personal & nothing to do with my capabilities and everyone (even the agent knew it) really the people abused their position in using termination as a score settler, but ultimately it's only a job, tulip happens, and you move on.

I was made redundant from a permie job last year. The date of my last day was set and I was on the wind down when they called me in for a "meeting" with HR two days before my last day. I thought something was up so I proceeded to wipe my laptop and empty all my stored email, shared folders, contacts etc.

Turns out is was a good move at the HR meeting was an ambush to get me to handover my laptop and phone. I couldn't stop laughing all the way back home. None of the customers I was working on had a clue I was leaving and my manager(w*nker) ended up losing his job as a result of the projects I was working on going tits up.

Turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. I got paid to leave a job I hated and have gone back to contracting, which I really enjoy.

yeah it was funny wasn't it. No proper backup. the database was being backed up onto the same device it was using! not even tape!

I was replaced by a scoundral - he truely was - who several months later was given a closing up(?) order as he failed to supply books for several years! Made my month.

There was no attachment to the contract, just a (ridiculous) expectation to be treated reasonably.

Anyway, I've walked and I don't care, no handover no nothing.

Start another "Day 1 on the Bench " thread... might be catharitic HTH

Lets have a day of national mourning... contractor loses contract
Lay lots of flowers at the scene etc. etc.

Yes, I think this would be appropriate maybe the Queen and Tony Blair could make a statement?, Surley the Goverment should pay Lucys rate while she gets over the Post Termination Contract Syndrome.
