A contractor mate I know if he gets offered an extension to a contract and does not want to stay any longer and turns it down keeps that fact to himself.
Apparently his wife has in the past got a tiny bit funny about the fact he has effectivley turned work down when it happened before and seems to not fully understand the reasons why he could not longer stand the place and she just sees it as 'work' and why turn it down.
He would only not take an extension for valid reasons but do you ever tell people that your contract is over as you have not accepted an extension that was offered or just say the contract finished and thats it to reduce the possiblility of getting it in the neck.
I always tell my partner if I have rejected an extension and the contracts ending but then I discuss most siutations with them but then I find i feel there is a tiny bit more extra pressure to get the next gig as soon as poss under these circumstances. I have considered not saying anything so there is not this pressure but then for some reson feel bad for this like I'm lying which is mad I know as its not really!!
