Right, CV up, time to put some spin on.

Not a huge shock as I have been doing the work of 2 people on maternity leave and they are back in, was hoping to see the contract through to end of year.

Not looking forward to the bench (5 months before this 10 monther) and can't see where the next job, let alone one at this level is coming from.
Sorry, bit shaken, stiff drink and dig out the CV !
Have you joined SY01s master class in getting off the bench? You need to be a long time bench warmer though.

5m+ = ca. 10m
50+ staff = ca. 100 staff

I had a contract leading 20+ testers for a big project replacing a core banking system; reporting to directors and with a lot of freedom to run things as I saw fit. The the bank suffered a bank run, was dumped by the central bank and in a space of 5 minutes I went from being a well paid interim manager to being benched. I actually stayed on for a couple of days voluntarily because I didn't want to just walk away from the people who'd worked for me without first helping them to deal with what had happened.
It's tulipe, but it happens, and then you pick yourself up again and you'll be stronger for the experience.

Things do seem a little busier - better to be dumped now than say 4 months ago.
Hope something turns up.
