I hope it all works out.........Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostThanks
If I make it back to work, they may rescind the notice. They have brought in another guy from our team to cover for me, and then a permie to replace him.
If I get back, then the team lead will try to get me to stay - it's the PM that he needs to convince, not me.
So far, the notice has been in a phone call on Friday to say that they would send me an email on Monday to put it in writing. I've not received the email yet, and (of course) they need to put it in writing to the agency.
I'll leave it another week and point out that they haven't given notice in accordance with the contract yet

Thanks - whatever happens will happen.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI hope it all works out.........
If it all ends early, then I know that I will make it to the Christmas performance at school for DD1, which I missed last year (when she was in nursery).
If it ends early, I know that I'll have a while at home with my family, as I'm not planning to look before the end of January at the earliest.
If it ends early, I will have plenty of time to work on Plan B - which I'll tell you about if I make it to the Christmas do, as I'm really pleased with it, but can't disclose anything about it here (and don't want to go the AtW route of promising and then not delivering
)
If it doesn't end early, I'll be working until the end of March and then it's Easter holidays.
Whatever happens, it's a win-win situation. Part of me is really hoping that it ends early, so I can spend some quality time with the family without feeling guilty - "it's not my fault I'm not working...." rather than "I could be working and I'm taking time off..."
That said, could do with some cash now that the plumber is starting next week to replace the bathroom.Comment
