Boomed…a bit…maybe

[Mich the Tester]

Client manager says he wants me to stay on for 2 more months, maybe longer but needs authorisation from ‘senior executives’ and says rates may be cut, and new contracts are delayed while an ‘internal rates audit’ is carried out. Well, I suppose 2 months extra money will be useful in the savings account and for launching plan B, but I don’t like the indecision around here so I’ve started looking for something else anyway; hopefully I’ll find something where the work’s a bit more challenging and then I might spend a bit less time on CUK. Suddenly all those ‘senior executives’ who spent the boom years portraying themselves as decisive, enterprising and ‘thrusting’ have turned into quivering little jellyfish at the mention of the word ‘budgets’.

Good stuff mate - at least you got that potential 2 months to then keep looking.
