Subject:Ethics of Jumping To Another Contract Job From:Richard Lewis <tech44writer -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:18:53 -0700 (PDT)
Question For All:
I completed a six month contract job and, just prior to it ending, I was offer a second six months. I was told all along that my work was very good but, I was kind of surprised when they gave me the second extension. I have worked about 1 month of the extension.
Now, a much better paying opportunity avails itself. Ethically, would you move on? Will the current company give me a "Do Not Re-Hire" check in my personnel file?
Thanks,
Richard Lewis
