I was working on the EN-GB Query AdCopy v2 and today received this :"We would like to notify you that due to circumstances outside of our control we no longer have a requirement for your services on our program."

Anyone else working on this programme for Lionbridge receive the same message?

I was working on the Ads5 program and received the same message on June 30th.

I emailed the LB team to see if I could get any more info and was told that the client decided to ramp down the ads tasks in the UK without warning - from what I could gather, Lionbridge themselves only had about 24 hours notice, and didn't sound totally pleased with the situation.

Hi Severai. Thanks for that. Yeah, I received the email on the same day. Bit of a bummer really but maybe something of a blessing in disguise: it was hideously tedious work but yet also incredibly stressful. Very fast paced and requiring intense concentration. It was kinda doing me in to be honest.

Oh well, time to find something else to make a few quid.

That's exactly how I remember it when I did it many years ago...
