Thread: Tips on ending projects

What are the best tips you guys have when you want to tell your employer (or whatever) 'I quit!'?

I think you must remain calm at that time and not be flaming.

What do you guys think?

You should have enough arguments before doing it. That's all I can say in fact, why do you need these things? Are you going to quit your job?

Better get your dues first and clarify why you are ending/leaving.

Do you mean dropping clients because of abuse and such? You should calmly explain why you are no longer going to continue working, and then refer them to someone else who can get the job done...

Or you can do what I did and raise your prices. Then your employer will find someone cheaper and you'll get more moneys.

Is this an online job or in the real world job?

It's a real world job.

I have done 3 projects which I still have to be paid for.

I am sick of him and want to leave, but what if he does not pay / delays it?

So this is a position at a company, or a freelance job? In real life you should call the guy, inform him that you have yet to be paid. Also, you should have a contract in place for this sort of thing.

If he refuses payment, then you OWN the stuff you worked on, and you can sue him for using it, or you can sue him for not paying you.

Just tell him that you feel you cannot continue to work with him, and make sure you get your cash.

Thanks for the advice sneakyheathen

Yes I do have a contract, if I do not get my dues I have to take the legal option.
