How's the bench these days?

Another contract draws to a close. A very unexpected and very early close, too. Bum.

Sorry to hear, mate..but if I may ask, what went wrong?

'Fraid not. There were a few other CUKers on ClientCo's site and I don't want them knowing I'm that CUK DickHead bloke before they've accept the LinkedIn invitations and before Friday's leaving booze-up.

Hello

[TimberWolf]

I was wondering if you were part of the Lloyds cull. That's going to add a few to the jobs market. And many more to come no doubt once Bob get his free pass.

Well well well, look what the cat dragged in
I suppose you want a hug or summink

Go on then

[EternalOptimist]

Just think how every time I see this message, my hand slips inside my dressing gown and I have a little rub.



Every reply you make just makes me harder.

this worries me

hi RC

[alreadypacked]

Hi RC, hope you got a chance to wash your dressing gown

I think there are a few project that were started with too little resources in April. They are now seeing that they will not be able to deliver by year end. Being available will be your biggest advantage.

Good luck.

Morning RC ; market's not so bad here on the continent. Depends what you do though?

There isn't a Lloyds cull, despite what you've been reading.

Any cull at Lloyds won't happen until Q3 next year.

They're currently trying their best to get important contractors tied up well in to next year.

The cull will come at the END of integration, not in the middle of it.

That gives the board nine months in which to decide they'll buy some other bank, sell of some other bit, 'integrate' with someone else and set up some compliancy projects for new banking regulations. Might all turn out fine for contractors.
