Afternoon All
Im Mark i am in urgent need of some advice if possible.
I went and past my BT openreach interview for a permanent engineers job.
I have been offered a 18 month fixed term contract.
My question is, will openreach make me permanent in those 18 months or will they release me when the contract ends?
The manager taking the interview told me it doesn't matter what contract is offered its a back office paper exercise. The HR guy told me its a probation for 18 months and i could be released.
So im abit confused. My notice needs handing in ASAP at my current employer. But i dont want to be out of work in 18 months.
Thanks for your time.
