When you've left, can you tell us which client it was?

Yep can do. Drop me a PM and I will answer that way.

[OwlHoot]

Yep I did. Mainly for my sanity and health as the role was just a nightmare from start to finish. It came to the point where being benched is better than being here unfortunately. ...

Do they do all this when the likes of Tata or Accenture rock up ? I doubt it.

PS: how many years or contracts back did they want ?

I doubt it very much.

They wanted two but as I was two weeks shy of two years in my last two contracts they asked for three years to cover it. Fingers crossed they will not fail me over this final hurdle.

European bank. Apparently me being a company secretary for my partners Ltd co is seen as a conflict of interest so have had to fill another form stating that I do very little for him. Am waiting to hear back that it is ok and that they will pass me.

Have passed credit checks, references, accountant references etc etc and now they throw this at me at the last minute.

Had to fill out yet another form for the checks that the bank apparently needs. The agency are an absolute nightmare to be honest. Had to send the Mr on his way to work to drop off the hand written forms so they could process them today.

Well done.

What checks ? US or Euro bank ? Heard the US are more anal.

Thanks everyone!

Yep am a lady Do you not think Jack Skellington is cute Suityou?

Nope it was for a charity and a government funded one too. They will probably be looking for more staff after the restructure but not sure I would advise anyone to take it on. Spoke to the Director and he said that I have lasted the longest out of all the contractors he has had in.

Fingers crossed I should be in a new gig on Monday. Had to fill out yet another form for the checks that the bank apparently needs. The agency are an absolute nightmare to be honest. Had to send the Mr on his way to work to drop off the hand written forms so they could process them today.

Found a lovely Marc Jacobs purse but might go back for it on Saturday.

Hawkeye was it a multimedia / finance outfit that you quit from or was it one of the big consultancies etc like Craap Gemini ?

[Stan.goodvibes]

Thanks Cojak!

Am thinking of quickly dashing to Oxford St at lunch and buying myself a treat to celebrate. Either that or jumping on my desk and doing the banana dance.

You can buy coke in oxford Street now? things have changed since I was there

No she doesn't. She's quite tough though

Hawkeye is a girl?

Know exactly what you mean. Dude you have got some stones.
Had gigs like that before. The last one the bullying was so bad I only made 3 months before I got really sick. Current gig is much much better.

Wishing you a much better gig next time.

[Francko]

Indeed. Was waiting for the 6 months to hit and cannot believe I managed to stick it out this long.

If you saw this place and how it is you would be surprised there are any members of staff wanting to be here on a permanent basis.

Sickly enough, some people are only looking for this kind of stuff.

Had a rant about it a while ago on here about the bullies I worked with. Without a doubt it was the right move. Never worked somewhere before where I felt physically sick every morning before I go in. It will be fine whatever happens.

Good on you - glad you're out of there. Good luck with the new gig - maybe see you at the Spring Bash?

[Hawkeye]

Dude did you quit before you signed a new contract !!!!
