Leaving a contract

[u9k82]

If it were me, I would hand in the notice NOW and join my mates' company next week.

as much as I love a bit of banter , is that your serious opinion ?

[vetran]

so the notice period is both ways? Frequently you have no notice period (you can't give notice) and they have one mentioned in the contract.

I assume it was to expand to more weeks notice but the client decided to retain the 1 week, any reason given?

Any suggestion the client is unhappy with your work?

You're asking in General......

Serious opinions are a little thin on the ground here.

Doesn't matter, does it? But yes, it is!

What other option do you have?

- Get bollocked by the wife everyday
- Get kicked out by the client at a week's notice.
- Get bollocked by the wife again.

The notice is both ways. the client was honest in terms of their an old school IT driven organisation. They were not sure if Sigma is the way forward.

There was a point the other weeks where things weren't moving as quickly as they had hoped. after for the first month my notice should of been four weeks. they have chosen to retain 1 week until the end of the contract.

Thank you.

So to clarify, you've still got a weeks notice from your end? As have they?

NO BRAINER. You've got a contractual right to give a weeks notice if you want. Something better has come up, if you think its better do whats best for you. Look after number one.

Don't fall for this I never give notice crap. Or believe the people on here who say they don't.

Look at it like this, the client decided for whatever reason they wanted to keep a weeks notice, so they can hardly moan if you invoke this contract term. Do you think they'd be upset if the money ran out and they needed you gone in a week?

Before anyone has a dig Im not saying do this whenever it suits. It will look bad but, end of the day, taking all into consideration you've got to look after yourself. Remember this is a valid term in a contract - its not as if you're planning to bail and breach contract....

I'd be tempted to jump, there is a vote of no confidence, they aren't sure what they want, its not going to end well.

Just a quick note to the script writers of this sockie.

You need more depth. How was the OP feeling? How does getting pushed around by his wife feel?
Was there anyone at work to blame? Who was incompetent? Who didn't get his genius?

Did our eponymous hero save the day? If so, how?

At the moment this is quite flat, and to be honest, a tad boring.
