Bailing on a gig after a few weeks

[CheeseSlice]

Starting new gig soon. Agency called today and had a right go because of something I'd put on my LinkedIn profile. Bit spooky that they've been checking it and stalking me.

Accused me of being underhand since I'd already signed with them. I explained to them that they didn't own me and whereas I was aware I had signed a contract, I reserved the right to conduct my business including contract searches how I saw fit. Told them I would continue to look up until I got on site (I have been bitten before when a gig was pulled the day before).

Agency seem to think I'm their employee for some reason. Nightmare.

Am I being unfair on them? I thought not.

Oh, its this client you're looking to bail from....

can you live with not being considered by the client again in the future?

Thanks for all replies. Yes, gig started this week. Its a bum on seat role which is a little lower level than I expected to be honest. So yes they are pretty much getting value straight away (call queue stuff etc).

I hear what everyone says. I do appreciate however that that may be it for current client ever.
