You leaving could cause a small inconvenience to the client but nothing more.
(I'm not making a personal point; truth is this more than likely applies to all who post on this forum, however I think this kind of thinking could leave you up the creek)
Project go-live occured successfully over a weekend, but there were still loads of residual issues to sort out, as there often are. This guy had another 2 months to run on his contract on the basis that he would be required to sort out these issues over that time period, and he was expecting to get extended to work on "Phase 2" or similar, which was due to go live about 6 months afterwards.
So he was surprised to learn that, early on the Monday morning after the go-live weekend, the clientco rang his agency and terminated his contract on the spot. He got a voicemail on his mobile which he picked up as he was leaving the tube station to walk to the client site.
They took the contents of his desk down to the front reception in a bin bag and he came and picked it up the following day."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It’s the s*** that happens while you’re waiting for moments that never come." -- Lester FreamonComment

I agree with you. Companies will spit you out when they've had their worth out of you.
I've been perfectly nice to my client and been flexible where I can be. Not considering throwing my toys out of the cot and no, I dont really want to upset them if I can. But FFS, all I asked them to do was decide whether I was staying or not and send an email!!!!Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Update:
Contract sorted now. Day before Xmas Eve about 4pm. Better late than never I suppose.
Next time I'll remember not to let it wind me up so much since it does seem like a regular occurence...Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
