    Shall I go round the houses, or tell it to you straight?

    Clearly you're unfamiliar with the latter otherwise you'd know what it meant.

      For somebody who wants to tell it straight, you're making a bit of a song and dance about going round the houses to tell him, don't you know.
      Why not?

        Is that what they call obfuscation?

          There you go, unable to answer a straightforward question. So really you are a "talk the talk" type

            I got fed a whole lot of lies and suckered into a dodgy Computer People contract at a tulipty rate, with a one day notice period for the client, and no clause allowing for me to give notice.

            I took it cause I needed the cash, but I will be out the door in a second when something better (i.e. pretty much anything) comes up.

            I am an ethical guy, but as far as I'm concerned I am not obligated to behave ethically towards a company or individual who has not paid me the same courtesy.

            Loyalty is a two way street.

              So you would be happy never to be considered for work by the client, or by any of your project managers in the event that they move?

                You didn't want the role but were froced at knifepoint to sign the contract, is that it? You're in a role you don't like and you'll leave as soon as you can, is that with or without serving a notice period? What?
                Why not?

                  There are no project managers, and it is not a client I would work for in the future.

                    I accepted a dodgy contract with no notice period specified for myself at all, but one day notice for the client and the agency for the first month. As far as I'm concerned they have set themselves up for a walk out with that one. Otherwise I would serve the notice period specified.

                    (No knife, but there is a thing called rent that needs to be paid.)

                      In that case quit
