No notice period

[JustKeepSwimming]

what are the penalties for not obeying in the army?
I don't think you are shot at dawn any more. Court martial and dishonourable discharge?

So like I say, they can't force you. But they can make it expensive and unpleasant, just like a client can do. So yeah, quite similar.


Anyway. You are

Took the role. Got the agency to change the contract. They wouldnt change the notice period but added a line to say contractor is not liable for anythign should they leave before the 6months is up due to unforseen circumstances.

Just have to wait for the bunfight to see if you both agree what an unforseen circumstance is. As it stands to you that covers absolutely everything. You getting pissed off with the contract and leaving is technically unforseen at this point. To the agent unforseen will be hurricanes, earthquakes and acts of god only.

So IMO you haven't really solved anything and there is going to be a battle if the worst happens whatever you do.
