It was a temporary one to tie me over. Just going to finish up all the documentation, stick it in the eRooms, invoice and then feck off with a view to come back in on the 16th April assuming I don't hear anything saying the opposite.Originally posted by eek View PostDo you still have another one to go to or has someone else grabbed it / been assigned to it?What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

It's actually austerity measures. There are a number of redundencies sweeping through the US, every project must be signed off by 8 people & that process is taking time. They have literally paralysed their own business. Telling contractors to go home and wait though is piss poor management. For those that get a green light, who is to say that the resource will still be there next week.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

When this one finishes I think it will be the last one for me. Need to spend my energies on building a new business from scratch and spending 100% of time on that. The problem with contracting is that the easy money is stopping me from going it alone properly.Originally posted by norrahe View PostEither that or they have put a bid in for another company so projects have been put on hold.

Most of the reason we contract is to build the money up to go it alone. Only reason I've taken my next one is because they want plan b integrated into it and I could do with some cash for my wife's plan c.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostWhen this one finishes I think it will be the last one for me.
