Sorry, but what are you asking? You gave notice 3 times in less than a week and a half - what's keeping you here? Money or not wanting to burn a bridge?

likehelpful

This. Sounds like you gave your notice as politely as possible, and they’re dragging it out.

It’s up to you when you want to walk out. If you don’t want to show up on Monday, don’t.

Are you not a freelance?

likefunny

Right but you gave your notice, there are limits.

likesmart

The problem is that you offered to stay until they can fill your spot. You should should have at best given 2 weeks. I agree with ACD1, and I’d actually straight up give a more firm notice with an actual last day.

What does your contract say?
There's often a "with one days notice" type clause in most freelance contracts I've had.

Then nothing you have to worry about. You gave them 3 opportunities to fill your role and they can’t follow through. It’s their problem, not yours.

Put the free back in freelance and get the eff outta there!!

They haven't been able to fill my spot, even though I am totally wrong for the job. I was miscast for the role bc the hiring manager misrepresented the role. How long do I have to stay?

Update: 6 weeks later and am onboarding my replacement. Happy I stayed until they found someone and now I can leave with good vibes in tow. Plus the money was much needed.
