Has anyone ever gone back on an offer of an extension after previously accepting it? Normally not really an issue as I only seem to ever get the paperwork on the last day of an existing contract, but current agency is a bit more proactive and I have put out some feelers about a gig closer to home which if offered I would like to take up (less money but home every night which to me is worth more than £sd)

Reneging on an accepted extension
Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off. -
Have you signed anything? Have to you accepted or indicated you'd accept if you were given the paperwork. The devil is in the details.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -

However the absolute arsehole made the work environment untenable so I had to give backword on the extension. The upshot was the absolute arsehole went to the agency to terminate immediately with just under 3 weeks of the contract left.
I dont know what happened or how the agency worked this but they talked the arsehole out of it and I just left at the contract end.
In the main, I think you may get a bit of grief even if it's a bit of the old cold shoulder between now and the end of your contract. I cant see many leads \ managers being too happy to have to go to market when they thought you were staying put but hey, that's how it rolls.Comment
