Thanks Stopdog - maybe reprimand was too strong a word, but I had some e-mail contact with T2 about 6 months ago and at that point T2 encouraged me to finish with T1 first.

Skysblue - lol - I assume it is to make sure the termination is not about just running from difficult stuff? And that there is time for reflection of the work that has been done? I think T2's take on it was my failure to give T1 notice of quitting reflects part of my "problem" in being passive and not addressing important things.

But I agree in terms of the money thing - if T1 does want me to go more than once, then who's going to pay for that?

I must admit that I am fairly confused too though. I would feel very able to send an e-mail and just say thanks and have a nice life
