Indeed it is.

It is flat on its back, in the gutter, staring at the sky.

It is looking up at the pigeons crapping on it as they pass on to their next free meal.

I've not noticed anything in the market looking up yet for any PM roles.

I hope your missing PM is run over by a steam roller, it's that sort of behaviour that gives all contractors a terrible name.

...though I would imagine there are many out of work contractors that wish they had the problem of deciding which contract to take just right now....

Didn't the agency get the contract signed, when the guy OKed the deal? If so, they can take legal route and demand damages..
