Telling client you are off at end of contract

[timh]

He's not telling you everything and if you knew you wouldn't be accusing him of being unprofessional.

I'm not accusing anybody of anything.. If the client are making things untenable then it's entirely their problem, and I'd be out of there ASAP - but I'm just going on what's been said.

The missing bit of info is that

I don't want to teach a bunch of Indians 15 years of experience in an afternoon, as thats where the project is going, very very soon.

3 contractors on my part of the project, 2 (including me are on the way out) and the third = parse2.

I expect they will offer me a 6 month extension then can me after 3.

Offered more cash to stay put!

He's having a laugh.

Not that kind of 'corporate atmosphere' at the moment then.
Fair play - then just walk, giving as much notice as possible and a neutral reason that you can't be hauled over the coals for.

when does your contract end or are you exercising a clause to terminate early ?

[Buffoon]

Your contract has an expiry date; why do you need to tell them anything? Let’s face it; if they are replacing staff with imports then they won’t be notifying you of much will they? When they have bleed you dry of knowledge then you will be out on your ear with little notice.

Stuff ‘em.

I like that Buff. I wish it were me now, so I could leave.

OK, run run run.

What everyone else said.

[Orangutan]

Doesn't help much but I gave my current gig over 6 months notice (ie I'll renew this time, but this is the last one)

I don't look for new work until I've finished a contract.
1) saves any hassle over terminating a contract (which I personally think is bad form)
2) saves me from going mad looking at the gigs I could have got if I wasn't currently engaged.

Totaly agree with those who've said "if its at the natural end of the contract anyway then no notice required", but I think thats bad form as well, you should give them as much notice as you can, but if its a case or not renewing you don't have to worry about notice for termination.
