Notice period Issue?

[badger7579]

[QUOTE=secontrator;670145]I agree integrity is important... But, this company A told me that iam going to work in one thing and then after coming on board they completely changed their priorties.

You have to take the rough with the smooth. no contract is perfect. I'd love to finish mine at the moment and move on but I'm sticking it out to the end, one for the money and two I consider it the professional course of action.

At the end of the day its up to you how you decide to conduct yourself and your business.

Oh well that's OK then, as long as you are happy f**k em. Why a one week notice period? why dont you just say that a family member has died and walk straight out. They won't question that one.

Rember those that you s**t on on the way up won't forget you on your way back down.

looks to me as a threatning word. btw, you should use the right words before putting it for public.

if one of your family member is died then you would it feel the pain.

watch your words. Iam sure you must be an agent.... don't go personal... maintain your distance...

It's all about being professional. You're supposed to be running a business so act like it.

Just phone up and say you've got a bad back and you don't know when you'll be back in!

He is! Any business should target the best opportunity to make the most money with least effort whilst increasing future potential revenue. That is exactly what he is doing.

What you suggest, in effect, misplaced loyalty is a permie traite.

Utter rubbish.

Wrecking a relationship with an existing client in order to pusue a new client is not good business, you're trying to dress up acting like a dick as something big and clever, it's not.

Incidentally I've come accross several contractors at later dates that I've seen bail on previous contracts and had them removed for being unreliable. I don't call that being good for their businesses. People have long memories and a network of their own friends, word gets round when bad contractors show up again.

He's only been there a month and does want to stay. Hardly wrecking a long standing relationship is it? Leaving and letting the client find a better suited contractor is the honourable thing to. I as a client would not want any 'reluctant Jo's' on my projects.

Have some integrity and see the current contract out

I have to agree with DodgyAgent here - instance like yours are what give us contrators a bad name. Unless there are very SERIOUS issues or family reasons at least see it through.

Would you still be moaning if you didnt get this other role on the job change? No.

Seems like you want to go anyway and thus will make all the excuses up in the world for your own self - common trait but it's up to you.

Substitute yourself. Win win situation.

Banks don't show much integrity to contractors:

If you really want to leave, hand in your notice and tell the agent you can start in two weeks. If the current client doesn't let you go early, then tell them you're going on holiday, or phone in sick for the last two weeks. It's not nice, it's not 'professional', but you'll probably get away with it.
