If work is 5 minutes away walking, how come you're having problems with travel expenses? Do you wear solid gold shoes or something?

I must have missed the answer to this question!

It's not the travel expenses, it's the hotel he stays in!

Why would you increase the notice though? Unless you think you are getting the boot I wouldnt want to have to give 6 weeks notice anywhere.

What if you get a killer position lined up but they need you quicker than 6 weeks.

Seriously though, then you are technically in breach of contract surely and open to legal repercusions?!?!

If you are in breach of contract - the only avenue open to a Gentleman would be to shoot oneself.

I know I have.

Then you just leave anyway, sod the notice. After all, you have to show you are in business on your own account. Besides, the agent will always smooth things over for you, it is what they are there for after all.
