Sounds like you have backed yourself into a corner there with the Monday start, I gave my 2 weeks notice in last week, dont sweat it longer you leave it into the day the more you will worry about it I came in on the Friday, sent the email right off. Let it develop around you.Comment

Why on earth do you think they will waive 1 weeks notice?? I mean.. a bloody week. You can't expect to just stand up and **** off from a client after a year. That's just stupid.
What are you going to do if your client say that's fine. Hand your kit in etc a week on Friday? You going to breach contract?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
