not extending - how bad is that in eyes of an agent

[diseasex]

Don't worry about it. Life's too short. Be honest and professional about it.

The agent will despise you. That's £200 a day he won't be getting in commission.

Luckily, there's about a million agents that will love you when you join their books.

He won't lose any sleep over you (in fact I doubt he will even you remember you the following morning) so I wouldn't lose any sleep over what you think he thinks of you.

If you are sure you are going to bounce out just give them plenty of warning of why you are going to do it. You never know it might get you what you want. I have had plenty of roles that say no until they realise that you will walk if they don't change.

Maybe get a day or 2 WFH, made my life a lot less miserable when I was commuting to London from the West Mids.

You seriously need to grow some if you are bothered about what the agent thinks when you are in a situation you can no longer put up with.

An agent is an agent. There are plenty about and all they think about is making money.

2-4 weeks towards the end of the contract I will state my intentions or ask them theirs. If its via an agency I would do it via the agency in the first instance to see how they want to manage it. Ultimately my contract is with them.

I couldn't give a tulip what an agent thinks about me leaving to be frank. If they don't want my services in the future there are plenty of others, often at the same agency, who do....

You won't lose him.

No matter how badly you treat agents, they're soon back like whipped curs, offering you new roles

It's just for discussion. I know what to do.
