    Given notice for first time in nearly 8 years!

    Surreal feeling today, have been in many contracts since I started back in 2010. This is the first time I've ever been given notice mid way through a contract. They let a few other guys guy and I'm one of the last few left.

    Also excited to be back on the market to look for next challenge! Plan B is in good shape too with options for me to setup my own consultancy.

    8 years! I remember when you were new and keen and full of questions. Now look at you!

      It happens more frequently these days.

      I arrived at ClientCo in late May. Terminated early June and left early July. Back early August!

        Is there a question or something or just a musing for General?

          No question.... just a strange experience given my previous record of like 12 contracts successfully completed with extensions.

                We'll be the judge of that.

                Please document your completions in meticulous detail so that we can sift through them and pass judgement.

                You can then point agents to this thread for evidence of the high esteem in which you're held by your CUK colleagues.

                    What gives you the confidence to say that it will never happen to you?
