MF gave me the idea in the other thread.
To start off, I was once in a contract that had 2 weeks left to expire, was going nowhere and there was no offer of extension. I thought why not ask for a fortnight's holiday ? (to be honest, I had another contract lined up)
Turns out that the client (consultancy) was hell-bent on squeezing the last drop of the fees and wanted bums on seats to maximize their profits.
Didn't take kindly to it and was told I was of no further use, so could I go immediately. Was happy to oblige.
Escorted off with a handshake from the line manager.
To be honest, I have seen a lot worse.
