I had this while back…I was working for company doing DR/Replication scripting…I was about 2/3 way through the job and they decided that “they could finish the job themselves” and graciously released me from my contract…
They called me back about 2 weeks later, at which point I quoted them 400% of my original rate, payable in advance, to finish the work. ;-) They were fucking LIVID…
Of course, they didn’t re-book me, but the rumor mill told me that they brought it in about a year behind schedule and at about 2x the budget they had allocated…
Helpful hint - do documentation LAST. If they fire you before it’s done, they get SQUAT. I didn’t even have passwords written down for them.
Oh I wouldn’t even entertain a contract position…
