| ob. disclaimer: I am not an attorney, this is not legal advice. You can get sued for any reason, at any time, contract or not. Whether a plaintiff can win against you is secondary. Talk to a lawyer. Tell her your situation and that you want to leave. Bring every slip of every communication you have had with anyone regarding your employment for review by the lawyer. Although you don't have a contract, that is not an automatic avoid-the-litigation-sewer card. Ask what your options are. Consider lining up your next gig before terminating the relationship. Don't negotiate anything except your departure date and terms, you're not holding out for more money, don't so don't open that door. If the situation becomes hostile at all, down tools, walk away and tell them further communications will be via your lawyer (have his/her business card ready to hand over). Your initial consult with a lawyer will cost money. Pay promptly. It will be far less than the soul suck of continuing or potential litigation if you don't consult. Even then you still may get sued. |
