Now that's an idea. Evil. I like it.

I suspect they'll wait until the project is largely complete so there's a clean break.... but this clearly creates a disincentive to be efficient surely? Goes against the grain a bit, but needs must in the current arid contracting climate.

Two weeks after being offered an extension into 2009, I just got asked if I'd be interested in going permie.

No matter what you think or try to do, the fact that you were asked says a lot.
It means they are thinking you are replacable and they want to lower costs.
They are just sounding you out first - your choice of course.
