Went in and found a back log of 3 months, duly worked at it and cleared it ALL by Tuesday.
Comments like 'oh he cleared that quickly' and 'we cant really afford the temping agency fees I wonder if theyll neogotiate' were overheard during that time.
Get called into the office - 'Oh you dont fit your too laid back and your not working hard enough, We're giving you a weeks notice' If I wasnt working hard why give me a weeks notice?
At which point I said no thanks and left them.
My point is why couldnt they have been more honest and said they
A: have no more work and
B: We have no more money to spend.
Why oh why do they have to lie?
Is this kind of dishonesty wide spread?
What, incidentally, is your specialized area?
Sems bad today but take it from an old man, leaving a job is not a LOSS. It is the cataclysmic event that forces change into your life and you will see that it pushes you into something better.
For now, take a day off on the lake, catch some fish, and visualize your next move.
I dont work in computing by the way but thanks for the offer to keep your eyes open.

To get what they want as cheaply as possible.
Never believe your employer. Only money talks.
They didn't give the temp agency a bad report on you, did they?
Lawman-excellent post! Now, if you can get Terry to come and explain how he avoids (Avoided? Will avoid?) creating rifts in the space time continuum-THAT would be an interesting read.
The consultant isnt returning my calls either.... Children, children.
Oh yeah it was a local council, when I went through my CV in the last 6 six years ive had 3 problem clients all of which were town/county councils!
Jokers the lot of them.
Reminds me of the time that I rang in to work saying just had a car crash and wouldnt be that day, went in the next and was pulled up before my department haed.
She didnt believe that Id had a car crash and written the car off - 'Cos how come youve got a car now?'
Errr because I went and bought another one.
Despite me having my hands cut to ribbons she still claimed I was liar...
