    Bounced. No banana.

    Just been given 4 weeks notice by a british telecommunications company.

    Bit surprised to actually get that much notice.

    Slightly disappointed to not make it to planned contract end-date of March 27th, as invoice payment would have landed on April 3rd.

    So be it. Onwards.

    yeah. I';m being told I'll be canned a month earlier than my contract end date (should have been end of April)
    they've offered perm at a really quite fantastic salary though... but really wanted that last month of contract rate with them

      I think you will find the use of the word banana is now racist and so you should be banned

      or something

        Not if you hail from Bongo-Bongo Land and drink Um-Bongo.

          Don’t they drink that in the Congo?

            Are you taking the perm shillings?

                I think that's a lie foisted on us by the same people who gave us "Le Piat D'Or".
