Had to write assessments of the various team members replacing me today. No going back now after what I wrote.

No harm in telling the truth... but hopefully framed in a way they can get some benefit from.

I found standing on a desk chanting "You're shhhh, and you know you are" is fun, but ultimately unproductive!

Wasn't a bad assessment of them (quite the opposite in fact)...but my suggestions for areas of improvement was more of a veiled attack on their new boss, who is an interfering micro manager who doesn't have the brains to trust his team and let them work freely and learn from their mistakes.

Hilariously, my employment agency have just emailed me telling me that my client wants to extend my contract for a further 12 months.

This is totally at odds with what I've been told directly for the last 8 months during which time I've been spending most of my time training the Romanian team who are replacing me and my other colleagues who are going at the end of the year (one of whom also has been told by his agency, in the last couple of days, that his contract is being extended as well!!).

Left hand/right hand. Arses/Elbows me thinks.

Arses and Elbows are now communicating effectively...formal notification has now been received regarding my termination date.

13 days and 3 hours left to go.

It's gone VERY quiet. No one is answering e mails which are requesting updates. Although my account does say "contribution in progress" so..........

They've probably put you on ignore or just blocked you lol

So ....it's bin a while so I thought I'd give both parties a call yesterday for an update.
Firstly, neither side have spoken to each other, both sides think the original state they were at is the norm, so have done absolutely nothing
Secondly, the person who knew differently has gone on maternity leave without telling me, or doing anything to ensure things were going to happen
I have, very calmly for me, spoken to a man at the receiving company and asked him to sort it out. And when he has sorted it out, to get his manager to ring me, not e mail, with EXACTLY what is the position of that company,vans why there has been such a delay and why there is conflicting ideas of what they can and cannot do. I'm not holding my breath.
A mate of mine had had to go back to work as a pension he thought he was going to get appears to be "lost". You might be reading this and thinking that is all rubbish and can't happen. I can assure you it can. Pensions is one of the biggest money making cons out there. Good luck getting yours ,how and when you like.

I wrote a detailed letter of resignation pointing out all the stuff that needed doing to bring my side of the business up to date.
I stood in front of the Director whilst he read it, he quietly put it down and said 'not much point of me trying to persuade you to stay then Doon' We both burst out laughing.
One month later he tried to bring me back as a consultant but the money offered was a bit of a joke. not much more than my leaving salary.

Enjoy your new life, keep busy.

I dont think you have any right to know when she's going on maternity leave. She should hand it over to someone else but you can't expect her to say she's off on maternity leave. That's her business
