      That's probably because contractors don't resign?

        Any suggestions even comical ones welcomed.
        Just tell your boss that you are firing him and the rest of the company. This will show him that you are able to look at tasks from different angles and will be kicking himself for not offering you more money and a more interesting working environment. He may also just ask security to escort you from the premises, either way your free from all that niceness.

                If you're after a serious answer (which I doubt) you shouldn't be giving notice to clientco anyway, you should be giving notice to your agent....

                  The agency is the client.

                    Oh I did this just now

                    But I always also inform my client co, out of curtsy ... in fact originally my contract was supposed to be until end of June, then they offered a renewal a couple of months back and I accepted not knowing my role will turn to sh*t ... all I need to say is I'd like to reject the extension previously accepted

                      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.
