Reply to: Leaving contract

[OwlHoot]

Anyone worked on a site where a tea trolley came round, with an old dear dispensing brews?

They used to have them at John Brown Engineering (later Kvaerner [sp?]) when I worked there in the '80s.

P.S. and we were allowed to smoke at our desks

edit: Oops, I posted before reading to the end of the thread. Never dreamed they were still being used!

Tea trolley - what year are you living in Pickle?

They had a tea trolley at my last gig (city insurer). It would trundle down the corridor outside my office at 11:00 and 15:00 sharp with a selection of beverages, cakes, biscuits, etc.

Very nice.

My current one does. I worked here before and totally forgot about it. She comes past my office at around 9:00 and 14:00. Never been or used her yet. Probably doesn't have PG Tips anyway but I can get a Brezel...

before u leave kindly email me the details of the contract, i like contracts where i dont have to do anything

[rootsnall]

I'm currently on a contract where I have bugger all work to do so to save wasting mine and the clients time, I looked about and managed to sort a new role out.

I spoke with the agency who got me my current gig and they are saying that I can't give notice as I'm employed for a supply of services and would be in breach of contract by leaving.

Is this true? am I stuck in the role until the contract expires?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Go and tell the client you have bugger all to do and you would like to leave, they must say that is fine with us bye bye.

Somehow I knew the only bit you would find odd about my post was the exsitance of a tea trolley...

Now you put it like that: knobbing a jam doughnut - you sicko!

[milanbenes]

I am sure if there is nothing to do the client won't care, they have to burn their budget otherwise they won't the monye next year

Stick it out, relax and teach yourself interesting useful things

feck's sake, kids today eh
