B*gger, you land on your feet and then the rug gets pulled. Landed a nice, local contract, five weeks in and then, whoosh, client we're developing for goes into administration, owing software house 300K, and then bye bye contractors, ah well bench time again and start looking. 20 Permies at risk too, given official letters today, twice now, maybe I'm jinxed, ummmm....

The same happened to me but I only managed to get 2 weeks.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

Thanks all, I let the Agency know and first thing they said, send an updated CV to us, include Company A on CV as they are Microsoft Gold Partner / Regional etc and they only recruit "talented individuals" etc. Blah, blah... But all credit, from interview stage until this day, I will praise them, Bl**dy good Agency, hopefully they will sort me out with next role.Comment

Happened to me in october. Dutch bank (DSB) went bust, agent went bust and left me more than 30.000 euros out of pocket. Still picking up the pieces and have to pay the tax man. Still, just think of the song 'I get knocked down, but I get up again, and you're never going to keep me down'.
Best of luck.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
