Thing is you need to find a suitable contract within the 6 months, else your notice period will go up to perhaps 3 months which is too long a wait for any contracts. Absolutely nothing illegal about that. The probation period is not only there for the employer but also for you to say it's not what I expected I'm leaving.
    Good old Dutch professionalism. I'll bet you get invited back to previous employers a lot.

          Have you read all his posts to say that? I notice you track what people said years/months ago and try to link the posts to result in a situation that you fancy. I feel sorry for you, really, get a life!
          All the regulars do that, it’s to deal with time-wasters.

          I have posts logged going back to 2009.

          As a mod I await your response to that with interest...
