Can I pull out?

[thunderlizard]

What does the contract involve? one of my mates might be able to pick it up off you gracefully.

The "it'll make the rest of us look bad argument", reminds me of the days of the Unions, solidarity, and all that pseudo "we're all together lads" argument. You know don't "work too hard, otherwise you'll make us all look bad".

Make your own decision and good luck.

Surely the difference between on and in a tissue is small?

Self administered probably...

safer to unload on 'em instead of in 'em.

If I have signed a contract where i would be starting on monday, i have now changed my mind - can i pull out by letting the agency know? Or can the agnecy/client sue me in any way?

Cheers

Yes and probably.

Have both parties agreed and signed the contract?

I'll disagree slightly with Orangutan:

Yes - It would be unprofessional
Yes - You'll make the rest of us look bad
Yes - You'll never get another gig with the client

You'll never get another gig with the agency
- Unlikely. If they need you, then they'll come back to you. I've just had an agency ring me, who terminated a contract of mine last year citing "unprofessional behaviour"

You'll never get another gig where anyone who was involved in finding/engaging you works
- Again unlikely

The main one is the client will never work with you again, and anyone working with the client will probably bad mouth you. It's a small world out there, and being known as "the guy who doesn't turn up" is not really a reputation I would want to be looking at.

getting enough.

You really aren't getting much are you El Duder.....

getting enough.

[Ardesco]

i always use the withdrawal method. safer to unload on 'em instead of in 'em.

If in doubt keep it out.

Bloody hell. This type of question seems to be asked more and more in recent weeks.. What's wrong with people? Can contractors not think about a situation BEFORE they put pen to paper anymore? In my opinion, once you have signed a contract you have to honour it in principle. There would have to be something seriously wrong for me to find it acceptable to walk out of a contract. So I guess the question is why do you want to pull out?

[Orangutan]

Of course you can but.......

It would be unprofessional
You'll make the rest of us look bad
You'll never get another gig with the agency
You'll never get another gig with the client
You'll never get another gig where anyone who was involved in finding/engaging you works

Why did you sign if you weren't sure ?
Whats changed ?
How long is it for ? Can you stick it for the duration of the contract ?
Have you got a substitution clause in the contract ?
