Resigning from a job in mid project = burning bridges?

[LookBehindYou]

Don't feel bad. I left my last job in the middle of a VOIP system implementation. They wanted me to stay, but I wasnt having it. Just continue to work to the best of your ability up until the very last minute that you work.

having to post this and you even taking an optional week off at your own leisure shows both you really aren't that important to that project nor do you have decent work ethic.

Expect to be put on the Do Not Rehire list.

don't worry, you still have tunnels

projects can last for months... it's bound to happen and they are only thinking about themselves. But yes, you are burning a bridge. Can't do anything about it in this case.

The only situation where I'd stay is if the project happens to end during that extra week you wanted off.

Meh, like others said, company wouldn't hesitate to sack your ass even if you just bought a new house or popped a kid or two out.

On the other hand, two weeks notice is a "minimum". You could have offered a month or more to help them find someone.... But see paragraph 1.

First of all - bridge is burned.

Second of all - If this project was actually important, you'd have a subordinate who'd be learning from you the whole time in case something like this happens.

As it sounds, you're getting a raise. If you don't plan on going back to that company, don't worry about it. They wouldn't hesitate to cut you if their profits dive, so don't feel bad for looking out for yourself.
