Nothing to do but client wants to keep me.
Haha!! Yes, perhaps I should count my blessings!! I'm just one of those sorts of people that likes to be busy, perhaps I should learn to enjoy taking it easy. It seems with every contract I do, there are lulls along the way. And I go through times like this where they want to keep me but...- Slice

haha.. that's hilarious! I guess a similar thing would happen here if I were to leave, they'd get someone else in to sit an do nothing, and pay them well to do so. May as well sit on the gravy train until something else comes along. :tumble:- Slice

Thanks for clarifying, I understand what you mean. I share your concerns hence why even tho I know BaU are snowed under I'm not touching it with a barge pole and not offering to help! Cheers for your advice!- Slice

Also, as I say above I will be loooking for new gigs. The WFH is just a short term strategy to stop me going insane while looking - might take me a few weeks. I have tried approaching this client previously re things being quiet the issue is that the client has very little experience and so...- Slice

Northern Lad - why the IR35 concern? I know you mentioned direction and control in a previous post, but I can't see how this is a valid concern, given that all things I've done have been recommendations I've made to the client I.e. Me saying I see you don't have X here, it would really benefit...- Slice

Thanks for the input folks. After careful consideration I have decided to try approaching the client about WFH 2 days a week perhaps citing 'work like balance' or trouble commuting (commute has recently increased) to see what they say. I can then use these 2 days to learn new skills and be...- Slice

I would love to, but as I say it the client has everyone in one office and it's not that big, so everyone can see what I'm doing. If I were to do that I'd give it a week and I'd be out the door as the perms (who are v v busy with other stuff) would get pretty narked off quickly.- Slice

Thanks. I've had a similar situation in my last contract and I'm not sure if perhaps it is something I'm doing or perhaps something in the water around here :ohwell With the last place tho, I found out after I was in that they had to fill the contract and keep it filled otherwise their budget...- Slice

Hi, I've been in my current contract for about a year. It runs out 31 Dec, and they've already said they would like to renew me to June 17. The rate is good. Thing is I don't have much work to do at all. There were some big chunky deliverables which I've dully delivered. The client seems...- Slice
