Hi guys
Some of you may remember my initial post about whether to go contract. Well, I took the plunge and handed in my notice. The trouble was the three month notice period.
So...I negotiated leaving in a month subject to getting the product done by then. However, my team just has not delivered - we need about 2 more weeks(!) despite stirling efforts.
Now, normally I would say 'fair enough' and sort things out, but bear in mind that this project has been running without specification or project plan since I joined the damned company - and it is one of the main reasons why I am leaving. Quite simply the stuff that I thought was doable had not been scoped. Yes, I was caught out yet again, yes, I should have scoped it better. Yes, I won't let my good nature to get in the way any more.
So - the question is, has anyone ever simply walked out of a permie job before their time was up? Yes, I would be in breach of contract but to be brutally honest from what I have seen I would be more than happy to burn this particular bridge for a number of reasons.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
