As a director of a service based company, I am nothing without my staff. I therefore put my employees needs first.

You work in the public sector then SA?

It's irrelevant DA,

If such circumstances arise that this fellow needs to move closer to home then so be it. It's the same if a clients circumstances change and they no longer have a need for the contractor, they won't think "well, he is a jolly good chap, lets allow him to see out his contract"

The concept of the client coming first seems to be lost on you lot despite the avalanche of business that has left these shores.

Since when has the relationship between client and provider been one that is equal?

If a builder agrees to build an extension on my house for a fixed price and he fails to do so I give him notice and replace him with one that does.

According to your business logic if a builder agrees to build an extension on my house and halfway through the job he says sorry mate I 've got a better job elsewhere, then I have no right to sue him.

Dodgy, you are missing the point. Indeed ClientCo needs are important but not at the expense of health or sanity. FFS, why can't you seen to grasp this?!?!?!?!

Have you been in the same job all of your life? Have you never left a job to go to another one for whatever reason?

It's an unfair analogy since I'm assuming you won't have hired a builder from hundreds of miles away and would have no doubt paid up front.

Anyways.....

If you are seriously suggesting that ANYONE should put a client/supplier relationship before their home life, then you should take a long hard look at yourself. What if (god forbid) there was an immediate bereavement in the family (wife/child etc) would that be enough for you to consider it reasonable to terminate a contract early?

Can I have a full list of your acceptable and unnaceptable criteria please?

I'm sure the OP would prefer to find a suitable replacement, rather than inconvenience the client.

It was the local builder who got up and walked away, but I got some bloke from a place called Warsaw who was willing to finish the job.

A bereavement is a little bit different from taking a job then jacking it in for something that is closer to home or for more money.

He's not doing it for more money or solely because it's closer to home, it's putting strain on his family life and he has an impending new arrival. Both of these things are more important than any contract, don't you agree?

DA - do you have kids?
