RE: Ethics of Jumping To Another Contract Job

[<jan -dot- arnopolin -at- thomson -dot- com>]

Richard, 
Did you sign a contract for the second extension?  Regardless, you made
a verbal contract and ethically should not break it, regardless of other
opportunities.  I would expect the company would give you a "Do Not
Re-Hire" check mark if you break a contract with them.

Subject: Ethics of Jumping To Another Contract Job

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
