You have a contract, honour it.
Has the agent sent you a contract for the new role?
Did it have a start date?

So i went for a 6 month contract role doing 'Cisco Contact Center' admin its the same hours per week as im going now.
But It's shift work based on a 4 week pattern. I would also have to work one saturday every 5 days with a day off in liu.
The downsides are also its an hour away from where I live.
The plus side is its paying £60 extra a day.
The pimp is putting pressure on me to start tomorrow.
My current contract has a weeks notice.
Would you ever walk out on a contract for a better paid role?
I am concerned about pissing off my current agency/company.
Cheers
Paul
bet you a pound you never get that day off because they will not find the time for you to have it then you will have to write it off

What is it these days that stops people making simple decisions for themselves? Didn't you know about all those downsides before the interview?
Thank God for Velcro or they wouldn't get their shoes done up.
