I wouldn't have minded the other negatives, but pure unfairness for no reason is the straw that broke the camels back. If I get something else and leave mid contract, they will only have themselves to blame, and I will have a clear conscience.Comment

I think I found the reason:Originally posted by russell View PostCurrent client co is a long commute using car, terrible seat (outside managers office, screens exposed to the world), not places to eat or get a real coffee for miles. The work is also less than ideal.
To top that off I see other contractors working from home, so I asked same since I have a long commute. They said its against their policy? I have 1 months notice and want to leave.

I'm usually in the "see out a contract for as long as they would like to utilise my services" camp.
That being said, I've never been overally unhappy in a role, and while Russell did sign up for the long commute, everyone is allowed to change their mind.
Especially when you get what appear to be stupid rules (like not being allowed to WFH when others do).
Life is to short to be unhappy, but as others have said, do be aware of potential unhappy client for references, maybe leave it off the CV?Comment

Some asserts are less liquid than others, I prefer to keep the liquid cash flow coming in by working otherwise I would be forced to liquidise aforementioned assets. i.e. if I just walked and then found the market dead and was benched for 12 months, would force me to sell some gold barsOriginally posted by TestMangler View PostWasn't that long ago, Russ, old chap, that you informed the populace of CUK that you 'could afford not to work for decades'.
