    That program annoys me, purely based on the fact you can't be fired from a job interview, at best they can say is "we are not progressing with your application"
    Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off.

      If you're feeling hot when you hand in your notice I would advise cooling down first.

        I could fix it. But I'm not going to.

        No. That's how we get recruited.

          Very nice but that all talks about the individual. You are forgetting your company is in a contract with the agency. The company is terminating the contract. You don't resign a contract. Unless of course the contract is in your name and then you've ****ed up.

              To be fair his accountant would have more of a clue.

                SandyD is female. She has pointed that out more than once.

                    Like your thinking. Or send them in 2 for the price of 1.

                      Its all done, I just told them I'd like to stick to the original date of contract end and not accept the extension...
                      Now they said, well ok can you do a couple of numpty tasks for us... I said well these tasks are not part of my contractual work I came here to do... they said well its either this or we can end the contract today ... i.e. not get paid for my notice

                      Don't get me wrong I had numpty tasks many times previously and it really is expected on most contracts, but with all the travel etc its not worth it.

                      Will go and see the tasks in details, and see how I feel, I may decide that's it am not working my notice
