Mate's gig

[eek]

Explain to them that without signed timesheets and work you're under no obligation to sit there like a prize ******* plum and will be looking for other work. If you are still available when they decide they need you then it's all good, otherwise it's tufficus tulipicus as they used to say in ancient rome.

The downside of that approach, as I highlighted in December, is the discovery that they don't want him and the subsequent crying in the corner.

So with signed timesheets and no work "my mate" has to sit there like a prize plum?

If they are signing timesheets then what is the problem?

The grinding indignation of manning the office to sit there like a prize plum I suspect.

Anywho, there is a signed timesheet outstanding and no reason given despite a chase so your earlier advice is still relevant.

If your mate has an outstanding timesheet and has been messed about before, WTAF is he still dancing to their tune? Jesus H.

He tells me he isn't now, has downed tools and started updating his LI and uploading his CV to the job boards.
