So current gig - how long ago did you agree to extend and how long before extension starts? Makes a difference.
If it was only yesterday, and theres two weeks left then its different to verbally accepting weeks ago and contract ends tomorrow.
Ultimately though, I'd look after myself. Speak to new client, current client and try to explain and come to a compromise. It probably wont come to you saying tought Im off when I want.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
