    But to be serious a minute....

    IF the reality is as you describe, I share the "bugger off and leave them to it" option, having explained to the client why you are doing so. We don't need that level of grief and we are better off looking for the next gig than dragging out a dead one. Ignore the money side, it will level out in time anyway and you have to look after your own business. If that buggers up their project, that's their problem to resolve, not yours.

    It might also wake up the client to the deeper problem. For example, if you said something to upset some other snowflake, the time to do something about was then, not four weeks later.

    They've not show you any respect. No reason for you to show them any.
    Blog? What blog...?

        Tell them you are unable to deliver training as it is outside the scope of the terms of your engagement and this would invalidate your insurance. Quote them your usual grand a day to do training with a 50% arsehole supplement if certain named members of the permanent staff are participating and a 100% cunt supplement if a certain contractor is participating.

          And put in a subject access request to see if they have put down anything interesting about you in an email.

                      No, what makes you think that?
