I'm getting mixed messages of 'run away, fast, run for the hills and find a bunker'... and 'snap their hand off, settle in, buy polyester ties and burn in permie hell for the next few months'.

And the office looks like a wasteland. 80% of desks empty.

I hope it picks up in the new year.....


I also hope I'll win the lottery!

A PM I know working for a large telco has been given 4 weeks notice and asked me about contracting. I gave him encouraging noises but didn't want to depress him too much with reports that the PM market is more pants than other others.

Quite true, sadly. That is what I do.

He probably has access to the personal info anyway, but I removed those.

Permie senior manager just asked me (very politely I might add) if I would mind sending him a copy of my CV.

In light of the current 'uncertain times' he wants to update his CV and he thought I would have a good version that he could look at.
