[northernladuk]

I had a day with lots of ideas how to get even richer.
I'm invoking notice tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for help , except for northernlad.

You are welcome.

Except the bit where you have to re-negotiate to allow substitution?

My work pattern is as outside and as detached from client as its possible. /thread

How is it possible to have had so much good advice and then respond to everyone with utter garbage? Oh right, becauese you are just trolling.

If you aren't allowed to substitute you don't have an outside contract. And I've clue you've no idea what substituting involves, along with everything else.

It's a four week gig, not even suity can get found out by a client they are tulip that quickly

I'll say I want to renegotiate contract to allow me to substitute or will leave in a week because of stream of clients and unable, as a director, to cope with a load of work

It is not possible to force you to complete the contract. For them to sue for breach of contract they have to prove material loss. If you make a bit of effort to handover properly then they won't suffer that.

Simply inform them that you will no longer be available after a particular date and wish to start the handover as soon as possible to ensure they are not adversely affected. If you have a substitution clause, then put some serious effort into finding a sub that you will train on your own time.

You're supposed to be a business, act like one!

Seems not.

Now I'm thinking of pulling off 2 contracts at once... thoughts?

Thoughts? You are just trolling.

Hi,
I've received an offer whilst working for a client that is equivalent of 50% more day rate..
Reading current contract arrangement it says I cant terminate before period end (which is mid november) unless company goes bankrupt or other stuff like that

how to play this to leave early?

Do you have a substitution clause in your contract?

if so, tell the client you plan to invoke that. Since most clients who have allowed such a clause in the contract never really intend/expect it to be used, they'll probably just give you notice.

Or, go nuclear, and somehow cause the liquidation of the client and use the "unless company goes bankrupt" clause of the contract
