Well gee..
IF you're going ot be starting the new job next monday..that doesn't leave
much time does it?
I mean normally you would give a month's notice, even if your contract
didn't state it just for good will.
Even if you told him today..that would leave him..just about a week to
replace you, which isn't very much time at all.
Wait until your new job is confirmed..and then let him know if possible.
Just..mention it to him, that at the end of the month you don't think that
you'll be..errmm..continuing employment with the company.
If you're on contract they can't fire you before the month is up right? :)

Hello All,
I'm looking for some of that great wisdom that occasionally flies
around here. Not muffins. Although muffins are always welcome.
Blueberry, please.
Anyway. I'm hunting for a new job. Here's the problem. I feel
morally obligated to let my employer know that I am looking so
that he can prepare as best possible. I don't want to leave him
in a lurch since there are few (if any) with even my limited
skill set that will work for the money and conditions that this
non-profit provides. (Just so you know I'm not whining $14/hr CDN
no benefits no holidays and I've provided them with work that
would have cost about $75 K to have developed by even the
cheapest development house around.)
So, how do I say this to him? I'm on a contract that ends the end
of this month and they are going to offer me a new contract (same
terms though). I don't want to outright quit, because I cannot
afford that. Would it be acceptable to say something like, "I
just want you to know that I have found it necessary to look for
work elsewhere and that I will do my best to make the transition
easy, should I find a new job."
FYI the contract has no clauses about giving notice from either
the employer or myself. I may be getting a great job that would
start next Monday.
If you have some sage advice, please let me know off list as I'm
in digest mode and there is some urgency here.
Bit of a pickle. Pickle Muffin...ewwwwwww......
