    I'm not the puppet of anyone. I work in management consulting and transformation programmes and therefore work for multiple clients simultaneously. This programme has been a dog, initially 14 months and now 22 months. Unfortunately my name is unique and I don't terminate contracts half way through just because they involve struggle.

    I see you are PSCONT reincarnated, in spirit if not nomenclature - what with your inherent negativity throughout your posts; hope the dark clouds lift one day for you.
    The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

      Yep, I'm on my last 3 weeks of my WFH assignment - it's great!

        I am at a client in London.

        The company is rather small and it has been split in to 2. Alternate days of working from home. My work is extremely niche so it doesn't really impact me as I don't have much interaction with the rest of the company.

        Just thankful not having to do the commute every day

          I've started this week with a large Bank who are looking at their business continuity plans just now in terms of which people can work from home in which country - their remote access system seems to have been scaled to cope with such circumstances (and a gradual move to home-workers anyway).

          So it should all be billable for me which is the main thing.

          Did I read the OP right that timesheets won't be approved? Are they on parchments and signed using quills?

                Nothing could do that.

                  Prison seems like a good possibility.

                      It would have to be solitary, on humanitarian grounds.
