    I did the above before and it indeed did lead to the manager being unhappy. When I explained there was no work on, It led to the most menial tasks imaginable. So I walked. Best decision I made. Just wish I lined up the next contract whilst sat there doing nothing.

      Relax and invoice

      PM got sign off for you, won’t look good on him if he now says you are not needed hence why you are still here

      Wait for this promised work until the end of your contract

      Work from home a few days and catch up on box sets
