No. Be professional.Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostSome of you may have previously read my "Grim Places to Work" and "Nasty Contractors" threads. I have worked 2 perm roles and 4 contract roles prior to this place and have always tried to leave on good terms when either completing a contract or putting my notice in (NLUK customary comment awaited here). I still have contact with people from my previous contracts and have been asked to go back on occasions.
This time, however, I have simply had enough of the people and place I am at and feel like I want to leave on Bad terms for the first time. The way I have been treated over the last 4 months by those who brought me in makes me want to leave on a really bad note and have a right go at them. I have no intention of ever coming back here despite the close proximity to my house and I doubt they will ever ask me to come back given the fact I have stood my ground against their incompetence and finger pointing.
Should I let them know what I think of them on my last day or not?

You should seriously consider writing a book, "Grim Places to Work" and "Nasty Contractors" would be best sellers for sureOriginally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostI think that message has now been received loud and clear. I guess I was just venting......

Editing their Wikipedia page with inside knowledge can be very satisfying (apparently
), not to mention digging up anything unflattering about them in the press and adding that as well.
Provided you use proper references and quote the sources Wikipeda will actually defend your edits when the company realises and tries to undo them, if they ever do
As an added bonus it will end up on their Facebook page as well, and there will be nothing they can do about it. Look up Facebook Community pages to see what I mean

You must be really unlucky. I have found something enjoyable in every place that I have worked and I am also in the North West.Some of you may have previously read my "Grim Places to Work" and "Nasty Contractors" threads.
Funny little things like editing wiki pages etc reflect badly on all of us as contractors, so please don't.
