Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostFWIW I had to do something similar. I was offered a renewal, accepted it and then a job came along that I couldn't turn down. I served notice under the terms of my contract and while the woman I worked for was disappointed, it was justifiable given the increase in rate and duration the other job was offering.
By the same token, if the budget was cut, they would have no quarms in cancelling the extension and serving me notice.
Never understood why some clients leave it until the last day. All this does, even for those who really want to stay, is force contractor to look at other options just in case. Seen it a million times, contractor has no intention of leaving, client pisses about with extension, contractor gets call 2-3 days before end of gig, and goes somewhere else. A lot of the time contractors wouldnt even have bothered looking elsewhere.
Not cool, but even if you accepted renewal as you say I would say its not a problem to give notice correctly. And I agree too what you say about the client.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

I always starting raising the issue with 4 weeks to go, especially when I'd be happy to extend.
Even when I don't want to extend, I want to get it on their radar early for handovers.Comment

Originally posted by coxsox View PostExactly, all a bit academic anyway as my renewal has 1 week's notice period. Not worried about burning this bridge this time around as they tend to treat people quite poorly when they want to sack them. Always thought it would be nice to take them into an office and tell them I will not be needing their services anymore should the moment present itself.
One or two I've had great fun telling them Im not renwewing and watching their face.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
