    Maybe he had 0 notice period on his side of the contact and decided to quit
    There are any number of things that can be said that would constitute harassment. Harassment is both a criminal and civil offence. If one party commits a serious criminal offence such as this as part of the contract it is not unreasonable for the other party to consider their obligations under the contract terminated. I am surprised that a bunch of professional contractors don’t understand this stuff.

        Actually leaving a site quietly and handing a badge and a laptop in without destroying either, isn't un-professional.

          When I was young, the only food we could get was fresh. In the light of having acute gastro problems, bowel problems and unexplained weight gains I reverted back to fresh food only. Four weeks into it weight has dropped even though meal sizes are the same, other symptoms have disappeared.
          Sounds like another convert. Ditch all the heavily processed junk, this includes most 'healthy' cerials, bread, and pasta. Look up ww w.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/#axzz2ZaMoS2dD - Primal Blueprint 101 | Mark's Daily Apple

            What's a healthy "cerial"?

            All food is fine in moderation.

            Unfortunately most of us don't understand what moderation is or more likely are just a greedy pig.

                So the pasta machine is at the back of that kitchen cupboard gathering dust?

                  and how often does this happen ? I take a lot of time to understand things that will happen often, I dont spend so much time trying to understand things that will happen rarely.

                    Yep, along with the yoghurt maker.

                      I find workplace bullying, racism, and so on is quite common. It rarely impacts me but when its been tried on I have had no problem walking. And walking in the most professional way possible.
