Got a new job!

[wickedwords]

I have been contracting off and on for the past 5 years, and I have just accepted a perm position. This contract was supposed to run out at the beginning of may, so I had 4 weeks left; technically I only have to give a 2 weeks notice, so I'm thinking I can start the new job in 3 weeks. The only problem is that the transition of my old job will be 'hey new guy, here's my stuff, bye!' so it kind of leaves them in a lurch as those last 2 weeks would have been my transition time.

Should I stress it or not? It really is only 2 weeks.

If your current place didn't want to be left in a lurch they could have offered you a full time benefited position. I'm not sure you owe them anything beyond your contracted time.

True! I love my current boss, and didn't want to leave her scrambling. But two weeks shouldn't be too bad, even if it is a busy time for us. Thanks!
