I doubt I'll want to come back here but don't really like burning bridges...

It's business.

The notice period works both ways, give notice, be polite and be firm.

Burning Bridges is a perception thing, if there was a complete tosser of a Manager then I'd gladly strike a lorry load of swan vestas, but if they are OK, I'd just be as nice as I can.


If a client black balls you for adhering to the terms of the contract, then why would you want to work for them in the first place anyway ??
