    Seems like you have the right attitude SP. You've milked that particular cash cow dry, time to find another.

    Book yourself a nice holiday for 12 weeks time and enjoy some of that filthy lucre.

    Indeed. 2 1/2 years of solid invoicing through the worst tulip storm in contracting history makes me a happy boy - no complaints from me.

    Have you tried seeing if you can transfer to a different project under one of the nice managers that find you invaluable? Is that a possibility at all?

    If you are happy in your current place, seems a shame for it to end because of one trumped up dickwad ....
    I think I'd rather just go. Extension takes us to 2.5 years here. Was a bit "ah feck" on the first day now looking forward to a change.

  • Welcome to Doomed Airlines. The seatbelt sign has been illuminated

    Client Co has given me my marching orders

    Well they've given me 12 weeks notice of my marching orders - ish. Below is the current situation among the staff at client co. Its like a bloody movie. I might have paraphrased the following.


    Permie A (Direct Contact with Client): "We'll be ****ed if they let you go"

    Permie B (Permie A's Boss): "Sockpuppet is an ass clown I want him gone"

    Permie C (Permie A's Old Boss): "Sockuppet is great, wtf is B thinking".

    Permie D (Permie C's Boss): "I'm pissed they gave control of the project to B but realize what A said is true so I'm going to say anything and laugh my tits off when it falls over".


    Phoned up agent to say I was leaving and she doesn't believe me You couldn't make this up.
