Re: FWD: Cutting a contract short

I'm not refering to the company or the agency. My response was to the
person who said leaving a contract was unethical. I only said that if
YOU give two weeks notice, yer being ethical. I for one tend to give
three weeks, but that's just me.

I will admit, though, that I've never been given less than two weeks
notice by an agency or company when a contract was
terminated....except for the one employee gig I had about two years
ago where I was led me out the door. Always expect the worst when
your boss asks to see you and someone from HR is already in his
office.
