As previously mentioned make sure you get your timesheet signed off.

T'was my last day yesterday and still have actions outstanding on 2 projects I was working on but as client can't make its mind up as to if they want to offer an extension (which I decided I'll turn down anyway) I've informed the team manager where all the documentation I created is located for each project, telephoned the relevant parties to inform them of the status of the project and who has access to the documentation and that they will need to negotiate with client co as to another resource as internally they can't make a decision.

Then, Adios Amigos

Raise it as a risk and then spend the rest of your time escalating it and developing mitigation and contingency plans. If they refuse to accept it, raise an issue that they won't accept it. Escalate the issue one tier higher. Repeat after every meal (and make sure there are plenty of them).

Wise words Greg, ta....

How do you square professionalism with "I think you're confusing me with someone who gives a f* **k"

They're getting rid of me but are demanding work that can't be completed by the end of my contract..



Breathe....

Have a pee in the company kettle

Just think of Switzerland.

See you in the new year

Which slopes will you be tackling?

Once they´ve cleared the passes I´ll be up there next weekend.

Nope - they had to get special dispensation to bill it, as the project mantra is time off in lieu instead.

So not only would they not get paid extra for giving up their weekends, but they'd actually be losing out by having time off, unpaid!



Some contractors deserve to be permies. Hope you'll be winding them up telling them what a great weekend you've had!

I hope they've got their contract sorted with higher rates for weekend work, otherwise it would be two finger time.

There was no chance I would be working it, but there you go.

I was chatting to three others there who all go next week (all given notice to cut costs). And they are all expected to work this weekend and next, to get the work done, so it's complete before they are marched from the building!!

It doesn't seem that uncommon - client ended my contract while I was off sick, but I made it back to do some time this week.
