Well, it happened. I have been working part-time as a consultant for almost a year now and have been looking for a reason to go into retirement full-time and my client has just given me one. Apparently, in this brave new world, working for a wage is not enough. The client has demanded that if, on the laughable occasion, I do work any OT, the first hour I will not be able to charge for. They have also said that they are removing my right to give them notice but are retaining theirs. Welcome to the world of Charles Dickens. Oh, and on the off hand that I decide not respond to their "requests", they will be made mandatory anyhow (which is in breach of contract, but nevermind).
I really should thank them but it is very sad that after being with the client for over 6 years, some HR thumb-twiddler has decided that it would be a great way to improve profits by squeezing the consultants. My contract ends in June and that will be that.
