    Until the bombshell about canning my contract early I was all up for it. Now I'm scanning jobserve to see what it's like out there. I love working at this client though and it would be a good chance to upskill at their expense for a few years

    started a topic Bounced. No banana.

    Bounced. No banana.

    Just been given 4 weeks notice by a british telecommunications company.

    Bit surprised to actually get that much notice.

    Slightly disappointed to not make it to planned contract end-date of March 27th, as invoice payment would have landed on April 3rd.

    So be it. Onwards.

Working...
