Well this was a short return to Britain.

Line managers didn't know anything about it until the last minute and the changes are at all levels (quite a few directors being shown the door).
I accept that I'm being shown the door is part of the cut and thrust of contracting, (I haven't been told by the agency yet but basically the team I'm in is having a meeting with the PM without me!) but I was just wondering how to paint this one on the CV?
It genuinely seems that the PM didn't know anything until the last minute and in fact the recruit agency were asking me if I knew anyone else that they could place because they have a load of work coming through next year.
TIA
