I agree with Tim, be honest with everyone. However if you are good or
real good, even the best intern won't do what you do. I have found that
to be true on a few accounts, and it also makes you look bad sometimes
if they hire an intern to do what you have been doing all this time, for
very little money. Anyway, good luck.

When I outgrew my previous position (moonlighting started paying better
than they could) I left the company with a small contract in hand. I
you aren't moving from your geographical area, maybe you could still
support them on a smaller scale? Maybe build more apps so they could
manage content rather than have to hire a replacement?
I think it'd be fare to tell them about it so such a transition could
start immediately... no matter when you plan to leave. Maybe they would
get an Intern you could train over the next month until your contract
expires then still keep a small contract for the more difficult work
they may require.

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......
