I most certainly would not be throwing away the chance to earn tens, if not hundreds of K just because I might get terminated on the spot. That could happen to any one of us, it's in our contracts.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by Abbot View PostThat’s fair enough. I don’t have a problem with being terminated on the spot. My issue here would really be notice being served twice. If I had the choice I would avoid this client in favour of other opportunities. But at the same time I would also have accepted the 31/12/20 termination and not bothered doing anything further other than bill for work up to that point.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

A client may be absolutely terrible but you can guarantee they will have hundreds of applicants for a role.
Very few contractors are in a position where they have clients chasing them and multiple options. Maybe if you are the next Nick D'Aloisio it is possible.Comment

If I became I contractor just to serve the needs of another then I could just as easily have become a perm sliding up that greasy corporate pole.Last edited by Abbot; 4 January 2021, 22:24.Comment

Originally posted by Abbot View PostI guess it depends on how one views this situation. Yes, one could view this whole arrangement as merely being subservient to a ClientCo. And that is ok if that is how you sell your LTDCo.
