&gt; So, I was in! A 3 month contract was drafted that would run through Blueshift, so if anything went south, either of us could walk away, no harm, no foul.<p>You are a contractor. You can walk away. And so can they. Why create trouble?<p>&gt; About a week into the project I began having bladder problems.<p>&gt; So for the next 4 weeks I missed a ton of work for doctors appointments, and coaching, and fitness, and whatnot to get my life on track.<p>Right after the project starts, you become unreliable for them for 4 weeks out of a 3 month project.<p>&gt; This time I gave them 6 weeks of notice.<p>You have a solid week. Then you are in and out for 4 weeks. Then you put in your notice after a week of solid work.<p>Then you don&#x27;t show up.<p>With that timeline, you would have to expect to get fired. It happens. Move on. Don&#x27;t look back.<p>All the public posts makes for a nightmare to deal with. They hired you and then they had to deal with you trashing the company on social media. And now you are trashing them on another platform.<p>Another huge mistake is that you weren&#x27;t taking care of yourself. Why show up early and leave late while working as a contractor? Why take work home with you? Just put the time in between start and finish and call it a day. If you are going to put in extra hours, put that time into creating more leads and building your image. Certainly you aren&#x27;t going to do all that by trashing your previous clients.<p>I don&#x27;t think contract work is for you.
