Morning all,
As you all may know, I am leaving my current contract early, however I am working the proper notice period as stated in my contract. I have another contract to start when this one ends and I managed to get the new employer to accept that I couldn't start for a month.
However, there's a geezer that sits not many desks away from me and he also is leaving early, however, he has had an offer for another job, accepted, I believe signed on the dotted line and is now refusing to work his notice. He can't understand why his agent is doing his nut...
I told him he was:
1. Unprofessional
2. In breach of contract (he has a 4 week notice period)
3. He could be sued
He then said b*ll*cks to the current company and if they didn't like it then stuff'em. He also said that he's done this many times and that companies should understand that there is no loyalty in business. well he actually said agents would shaft you given half the chance!
Tis no wonder that sometimes contractors are viewed warily.
So, are you lot loyal to the point of being professional??
Cheers
