I was given my notice on my contract halfway through the contract (had another 3 months to go) for which I believe was not a real reason.
In my contracting years, I've never encountered management like this, alway had contracts renewed and received excellent feedback.
This time was a very strange situation. I've had a very hard time with this contract, been bullied and harrassed repeatedly by the manager who manages me who has created a very negative impression of me.
Long story short, I was told I was incapable of doing my job. I was bought in at PMO assistant level, but told I was the PMO Lead and was expected to work as the PMO Lead with no discussion about rate change or title change.
I was also told that they expected me to deliver results at this level but didn't want me to ask any questions and nor would they give any context (!) I have numerous examples of very strange behaviour.
Today a friend told me I could have a case for bullying / harrassment and potentially wrongful dismissal. But does this work as a contractor?
Would it be worth it? ie would I be paid out on the remainder of the contract - 3 months?
Would I need evidence? The person who has bullied me doesn't want me to communicate by email so she avoids emailing me and always delivers her harrasment verbal style.
I would normally just choose to focus on finding something better, focusing on the positive etc, but sometimes, when you're being bulled maybe I should just make a stand? I've never come across anything quite like it. I'm not even permitted to finish a question before I am cut off and then patronised and put down. Its so weird.
Thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.
