I have been contracting for a few years now and am still getting used to the policies applied to contractors.
I was employed by a large bank to carry out a supportive role.
My manager wasn't the most pleasant person to work with and often made my time there very difficult.
After two months I was requested to attend a meeting with the in-house recruiters to be informed that my services are no longer required. No reason was given.
Is there something in GDPR which could help me find out what happened?
Thank you for your help- You were krap at your job
- Your manager disliked you
- The requirements changed
- The role evaporated
- You smelled
It's one of those

Originally posted by Contractor911 View Post, when being requested to leave, they said they could give me no reason other than my contract was no longer needed. No gross misconducted had been reported.
EDIT : 'contract was no longer needed' with no other supporting explanation generally means you were crap.

I doubt that they have anything written down about that meeting so there will be no records. Normally HR would only keep records on permies, and on permies it would only be the performance reviews the permies receive at the end of each year.

But as others have said, get outwards, get onwards, and get upwards.
Edit:
Did you ask them?

However, what do you expect to achieve from this? Even if you find out why, there is little to nothing you can do about it. If the client wants you gone, you are gone. Thats how contracting works.
It would be interesting to see what comes up via the access of information request.
Thank you

Forget spending time trying to find out what happened. It's totally irrelevant. Absolutely nothing you can do about it even if you do find out so pointless trying.
Leave this one alone and instead spend some time learning how to be a contractor.

I hold the view that these opinions on competence or suitability are completely irrelevant, because this is what you can expect. My view is I don't seek nor heed advice from managers about how good I am or what I could do better.
I remember when we were on a project which totally went wrong and the project leader asked the manager whether he was pleased with him as he'd lost his self-confidence.This was when I realised you should never seek nor want approval from management. Be a politician !!
Ignore and move on.Last edited by BlasterBates; 4 April 2019, 11:57.
