Been on long-term contract since March 2020 - was offered FTE a few times but package had low base and lots of stock, small bonus so I stayed on day rate. I was cut 2 weeks ago w/other FL'ers due to lack of projects this summer. They want to bring me back in the fall. Given how bad the market is, I was hoping to coast this summer, spend time w/the kids, relax and go back in Sept. But nothing is confirmed and I am worried about having no income. I haven't reached out to my network yet. Advice?

Take a couple weeks, start posting you’re avails mid-August. Don’t take anyone’s word about “bringing you back” .. it’s a way to be soft, they feel bad, they like you, you’re good, and you are probably who they’ll call, but until they know they can book you, you’re being strung along.
