Yeah this happens more than you’d expect! Never had it myself but I’ve worked st places where it’s happened to colleagues (usually assigned unimportant BAU work than actually doing nothing but I do know of people who’ve basically had nothing to do!)



I sort of suspect all these people I've met that I've wondered why they like being a contractor .... are all on that system.

I kinda want to be a contractor now.


I have been in this situation and you have to strong nerves. You always expect to be sent home any time soon.


Yeah I would certianly feel like I had to be ready to move on unexpectedly.... but you know if I could work from home and clean the house a bit... worth it.
