120 pound a day. Not bad money for a lot of people.
I know people that work very hard for less.

Couldn't resist.

Seriously though, I hope the OP finds something else soon.

Crappy news.

Get on jobserve right away! Something will turn up. I've been looking for 3 weeks solid and have had some calls and CVs going over desks so if a cretin like me can get calls you have nothing to worry about

You are on the move AGAIN?

You aren't a contractor, you're a TEMP.

looking for VBA roles eh?

I hear from this forum that there's a VBA role up for grabs right now...

Dude, did you actually practice what you preach in your sig

May be related.

That's contracting.

Well it just got even more unboomed.

After lunch I got a call from HR. I was asked to go to a room to see them. They read out a long letter about cost reductions and told that I had to leave site immediately and they would pay up my notice of 2 weeks. Not allowed back to my desk etc.

So now I'm available immediately

In the last 12 months working for Bar Cap I've had a 10% rate cut, told to take 10 days unpaid leave and then my contract terminated and escorted off site. This from a bank that is trying to portray itself as having integrity/respect etc. What a load of old bollocks!!

The stupid thing is that I'd only got 5 weeks left!!

Bummer

I'm finishing up on 31st December, going to be a quiet Jan, still a month at home in the middle of winter won't be so bad

[Dactylion]

I have to tough mine out carry on with the usual whinging and moaning til end of Jan.

FTFY

[suityou01]

I have to tough mine out til end of Jan.

[mudskipper]

My contract also ends at end November. Renewal looking probable.

[jmo21]

I finish up here on Dec 5th, will have been just over 2 years by that point (don't worry, I've stopped claiming travel expenses when I accepted my last ext)

Pretty sure they won't extend this time, though every time they've extended me in last 14 months (3 times) each time was a last minute thing.
