    Oh no!!!

    2 out of the 3 contractors in this office have just had a phone call from our agent telling them that they will no longer be required... now I'm sitting here staring at my mobile, why is it always on a Friday.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I really like it here, its been 2 years and close enough to home not be bothered about expenses, it wouldn't normally bother me but we're expecting a baby and I really wanted to get past that before the prospect of working away from home comes about. I've heard that out of a total of 15 across site 6 are staying so fingers crossed ...it hasn't rang yet, I feel sick

          Sounds like you wanna be a permie

          Nah seriously no contractor should be afraid of being let go, just means another chapter in the story.

          I know what you mean, though, a little bit of stability is nice, just not essential.

              I've been expecting that call for a week or so. I don't mind too much: I could do with a break, I have a bit of a plan B in the works that I could do with putting some effort into, and the market for what I do seems pretty healthy.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                Oh no!!!!! Sorry to hear that mate

                I think you should ring them - better than waiting and fretting?

                Good luck

                  Yeah i would call them, no point in sticking head in sand if you are up for the chop. Best get it over with fast

                  And if you are not up for the chop when you will regret worrying over nothing for so long
