I got the terminated today, the story is that one of the teams was not delivering what they should, I was asked to send an email to the IT director specifying the exact requirements, this didn’t go down well, and the IT director felt insulted that a contractor sent him a requirement email, anyway he insisted I should be terminated, I know it’s a stupid mistake of mine, and I lost out on a lucrative contract, even though I wasn’t enjoying it. However, even though the termination is effective from this morning, they asked me to complete an additional work, I was told if I don’t do this they will not pay me for the last 2 days and they will enforce the gross misconduct clause from my contract (in fact they already have – they are saying as I upset the IT director they will not pay me my notice)
They specifically told the agency they were pleased with all my work, and had no issue with it, the only problem was upsetting the IT director. The project is relying on me to complete this extra work.
Should I complete this extra deliverable for the sake of having a good relationship and walking out professionally? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, on one hand they sack me but on the other they say we need you to do more work for us. Also I am very angry about being blackmailed either I complete additional work or I don’t get paid for the whole week.
Obviously I am inclined to give them the finger, but am trying to be calm and rationalise the situation. Any other rational advice (I know can be difficult to get on this forum) would be welcomed
