In fact all the advise against telling the company is to avoid that penalty. At the very least, not disclosing information, that you think would count against you, so that you can benefit from a different perception of the situation is dishonest. Just tell the company. There is plenty of short term, or contract work available. Work with a temp agency for example. | |

I really doubt that we're talking about a high level position here. Also, if that were really the case, then the contract would build in some early termination penalties, or some golden handcuffs of some kind. | |
