Originally posted by superchief View PostThe unrealistic demands are really for the amount of work they need doing given the time I have quoted. They have taken my time estimates and essentially said they want it quicker with refusal to pay more money for me to do more hours. It's a no brainer from my side and i have really had enough of it to be fair.
Option 1#
There's no covenants or caveats that will enforce the situation either way. You have no notice period which means you can walk away as-is (as other posters
have already mentioned). However you may get threats of legal action etc (you left this business under threat due to loss of services).
As you leave the premises for the door shout "I am Spartacus".
OR Option 2:
A slightly different suggestion... Email the person in charge and say something like : "The level of commitment has changed unfavourably....There is no contract in place....Provide notice of 1 week (which I am not obliged to provide but am doing so in order to allow business continuity)... Kind Regards".
You may end up with a formal contract / better conditions / a formal SLA or just a more professional and courteous exit. It sounds like this is what you'd prefer.
Do not shout "I am Spartacus" on your way out.Comment

Thanks to all who answered as well, I did enjoy the comedic responses and alas I shall probably not shout "I am Spartacus" but will probably be thinking "FOR SPARTA".Comment
