Does your contract have any stated hours of work? If not then just don't turn up.
Have you tried the "look this is just costing you money and me time, for no return" approach with the client.
Or the "I'll get everything finished by friday if you release me from this pergatory" whine.
If the above fail then stick your undies on your head, a pencil up each nostril and repeat "wibble" over and over again. You won't last 10 minutes.

Standard advice is to wait until the tea trolley comes around and then stick you n0b in all of the jam donuts. They will exercise their 7 day notice in a blink of an eye.

Originally posted by juliehendry View PostHi, I started on a Coach contract which quickly became a very high pressue mgt role (not happy, particularly as the previous coaches were just coaches).

Trying to get paid is a nightmare, after three months I still don't have the basic pre-requisites - and quite frankly if I'm spoken to insidiously one more time I'll belt someone.
I have a 1 month notice period, they have 7 days. I terminated last Friday but quite frankly do not want to sit around in this hole for the next month being cajoled - So far I've had three meetings with the client who seem to think minor things are going to make me change my mind - I don't even think they are taking it seriously! I just want to get their project planned and go - plus there is a quite nice opportunity around if I can leave within the next week.
Any tips on how I can just get up and go after the planning is complete?
