Don't all booms have to "end with a recession"? That's how you know they've ended and that it was a boom. Otherwise it's all boo- and no -oom. -
I am feeling very pleased about 2 more months contracting, with a nice secure permie role on not too dis-similar money after.

You should check your permie contract (if you have one at all) - you can be fired pretty much at any time for anything during "trial" period. And if you get fired before you are employed for at least a year you can't use Employment Tribunal.Originally posted by Wilmslow View Postnice secure permie role
