If the manager cannot extend the contract, they cannot make the decision to keep the staff. A manager is not a paper pusher despite what the jokes say. They CAN make contracts on behalf of the company and make decisions. If it falls through, then the company and the manager would have to work it out. You don't leave contractors out to dry unless you're a worthless manager. | |

If you worked with an agency, you can give them a hint that there will be an open position soon, and convince them that the next guy should ask for at least ten percent more. That educates the customer, helps someone, and some day you may benefit from the same situation. | |
