sorry to hear that old chap, hopefully some luck will come your way though, who knows, it might end up being a blessing in disguise

[Jimbob]

Sure you will come up smelling of roses, man of your talents  

[Debs.]

  Oh my word!.......I`m sad to read that news James; `here`s hoping and praying something better will come out of that change of employment circumstance really soon!  

[cem_devecioglu]

By the way whatever job you find , dont leave IT..

Looks like Mr DTM was right about the NHS.

I've just been told that my contract will not be renewed. Reason being "I'm too skilled for the role, and they're worried I'll get bored and not give long service".

First time I've ever faced not having a job!!

 

What about the chap you were on holiday with?

if this means you will be unemployed, i'm pretty sure there's grounds for unfair dismissal as "too skilled" is frankly a bull***t reason to dismiss you, they're saying they're getting rid of you even though you're capable of doing the job, whether you're overqualified or not!

 

sorry to hear it, i hope you get some good out of it

Sorry to hear about your job - good luck looking for something else.

Why do these people think you'll be pleased to hear that they think you're too good for the job?  Surely they should give you credit for having sufficient intelligence to know whether you want the job?  

I was turned down for exactly the same reason when I applied for a Computer Operator job at CERN 40 years ago.  Of course I was overqualified, but I wanted to live in Geneva and work for one of the leading scientific establishments in the world.  I would not have been bored and drifted away - I would have worked to advance myself.

Who knows, I might have invented the World Wide Web

I may just become an LPG installer

If you do let me know, as you are quite local.  

Can be arranged - I've done a few of them now and could certainly give you a hand with it, subject to what happens

Typical NHS:

NHS: "you're too good for your job so we have to fire you"
Dilbert: "But why?"
NHS: "We would rather have somebody who didnt know how to to the job, this is the NHS it cant run smoothly.  Besides who will we blame when a problem arises elsewhere?  Easier to blame an idiot.  Here's your P45"

You can't blame an idiot  -- they are the ones in charge !!!!

[albitz]

sorry to hear of your plight,i had a similar thing happen a few weeks ago and know what a shock it can be.if you were an employee then i would think you have grounds for legal redress .would be worth contacting c.a.b. as a first port of call.on the bright side,you could make a living out of your hobby. ........p.s. this sounds like someone putting into practise the old management adage,"never have someone working under you who is cleverer than you" its amazing how insecure many managers are.

Ermm was his Boss .....I think it's actually a shame as I recall when James was going for this job, and whether to ditch his previous job ........Anyway James, sure something else will turn up all the best
