I've deboomed from last contract. Am on the bench for the time being. Have an interview for this afternoon, but am not hopeful. The environment I was in was a bit toxic. I know I should have stuck it out for another 4 or 5 weeks, but it was time for me to move on. Here's hoping something booms pretty soon.

I don't get it - unless you are personally being persecuted or something, why leave a contract where you are being paid, to instead sit on the bench and have zero income?
Why not find another contract and then invoke your one week notice on the current contract?
Unless of course you have enough money that you don't need to worry!Comment

No, I don't have huge amounts of money in the bank, but I am not one for staying in a role for the sake of it whilst I am making myself ill. I know it goes against the grain. Also, it is impossible to look for new contract roles whilst I am there as there is a culture of witch hunt as soon as you answer your phone.Comment
