    Oh no!!!!! Sorry to hear that mate

    I think you should ring them - better than waiting and fretting?

    Good luck

    I've been expecting that call for a week or so. I don't mind too much: I could do with a break, I have a bit of a plan B in the works that I could do with putting some effort into, and the market for what I do seems pretty healthy.

I've heard that out of a total of 15 across site 6 are staying so fingers crossed ...it hasn't rang yet, I feel sick
    Sounds like you wanna be a permie

    Nah seriously no contractor should be afraid of being let go, just means another chapter in the story.

    I know what you mean, though, a little bit of stability is nice, just not essential.
