[quote=Anonymous]Have they broken your contract in any way? My strategy is to write a letter detailing the violations of the agreement, but acknowledging positive aspects of the relationship, and stating that you are giving X weeks of notice as a *courtesy*. This works because I write my contracts to say that persistent violation of the terms can result in immediate termination. Then they feel like the notice is an act of good will, which it is, and they behave during that time because they know I won't hesitate to leave. As far as the reference letter, I make sure I get formal evaluations every 6 months, and then they'd look kinda crazy if they tried to give a reference that was wildly different than the glowing evaluations. I also find that giving them the 4 weeks of notice and leaving on as good terms as possible gives everyone time to rebound from the news and end positively, rather than angry that they were dumped and had to scramble.
