Originally posted by DodgyAgentIn that case quit
As an aside, I was offered a contract like this about a year ago. I told the agency that this was not enforceable as it made no allowance for me to terminate my employment in any way other than seeing out the contract, and as such was not enforceable under law. I gave them some bollocks about being an effective restriction of trade, (bluster admittedly) it worked and they came back with a revised offer of two weeks to me, versus one month to them.
Johnny - why not try the same?

Originally posted by DundeegeorgeYou didn't want the role but were froced at knifepoint to sign the contract, is that it? You're in a role you don't like and you'll leave as soon as you can, is that with or without serving a notice period? What?
(No knife, but there is a thing called rent that needs to be paid.)

What's you pint here?
Originally posted by JohnnyLowI got fed a whole lot of lies and suckered into a dodgy Computer People contract at a tulipty rate, with a one day notice period for the client, and no clause allowing for me to give notice.
I took it cause I needed the cash, but I will be out the door in a second when something better (i.e. pretty much anything) comes up.
I am an ethical guy, but as far as I'm concerned I am not obligated to behave ethically towards a company or individual who has not paid me the same courtesy.
Loyalty is a two way street.
