    It's really very simple. If you can't construct basic English sentences then clients don't want you.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      That's a bit harsh. It's more of a tried but failed attempt to write the post in the third person, probably due to English not being their first language.

        It is also a very bad example from a Mod in a professional forum.

          The OP never replied to that thread either.

            No I think hes saying when clients give notice its considered OK and part of the game. When contractors give notice its frowned upon.

              Normally you'd be right, but given that he posted here quite coherently, and is now banging about the same issue, I'd suggest it's not inappropriate.

              I could have moved it to General...

                  It's just perception...

                  When company gives notice they aren't bothered at all as it is their decision. You on the other hand are a bit p'd off at having to find another gig

                  Reverse it, you are happy to be leaving as it's your choice but your client are now p'd off at having to replace you

                    To me it's when the client gives notice to change the contract terms that annoys me. Mid contract rate reductions and a take it or leave it notice. While they think that is professional, they moan about contractors who jump ship to get a better rate.
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!
