When company gives notice they aren't bothered at all as it is their decision. You on the other hand are a bit p'd off at having to find another gig
Reverse it, you are happy to be leaving as it's your choice but your client are now p'd off at having to replace you

I could have moved it to General...

Originally posted by avatcuk View PostWhere company decides to withdraw interim resources is considered a norm (withdrawn instantly or by giving enough notice, although ensured tenure to be difficult as hell).
However, interim to take similar action first than the organisation and where interim is also in agreement to all necessary contractual protocols (Notice Period etc.), seen as an offence to some higher in the rank or bridge burning action by culturally primitive organisations.
Why some organisations do not respect and appreciate the move by interim resources positively, when they (business) themselves would have taken similar decision against interim several times.
Why some businesses just could not stand the departure of contractor with notice and be biased??

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI read in to it he's given notice and it's not gone down so well. Either they've binned him on the spot, refuse to pay the full month even though he's not worked it or they are just mad at him and the agent/client is giving him grief.
It's so poorly worded it's difficult to understand exactly what his issue is so we can address it.

Just to add the above. Notice is pretty irrelevant for us. I can't tell exactly what's ticked you off due to the language in the post but a company is not obliged to pay for notice. If there is no work you don't get paid it. It's in the contract.
You are there to do a job. If that job disappears then so does any work you can do. This could be projects stopped, backfill by permies, budget disappears. If that's the case then we don't get paid any more by the T&M nature of our contracts.
It's all there in black and white. Thankfully not too many companies pull this and will honour notice period but never expect to get paid for work you don't do as a contractor.
