I used to work in a completely different industry, semiconductor field service. There was this guy he was getting $150/day on top of his salary to cover hotel/food while he was in training. He also had a company car. While at training, he gave his notice and generously offered to keep working the remaining two weeks. He was fired on the spot and kicked to the curb 6 hours drive from home with no car. I don't think he thought that n\one through.

I know many customers don't want a contractor who is leaving to be working at their site.

So my last day is next Friday. However, I am tempted to make today my last. They had the nerve to cut my internet access yesterday (with 5 days left mind you).

Get one of those Verizon MiFi things and hook it up to your PC. When they notice your on the internet looking at router porn say, "oh is this site banned? :thinking: "

Well I'm home now. They terminated me early and said they would still pay my hours next week. I am pretty stoked. Got a week vacation to relax and reboot before I start the new gig.

Funny how things work themselves out.
