Ok so the job is getting a little unbearable - I am on a 3 month temporary contract but I get the feeling they will ask me to stay. What happens if you never go back or if you walk out? Can they send someone after you?

No. If you have a fixed term contract that is it. They have no right to make you stay.
If you walk out before the end of the contract technically they could ask you to pay them the remaining period of the contract or your notice period, whichever is the longer. This almost never happens though. All it usually means is that you get negative information passed on if you go for a new job.

Why not just hand in your notice, or write a letter saying that you will not be coming back, give a reason if you want to and say it will be acceptable to you for them to advertise your job - the vacancy.
Just be honest and say why you feel the job is unbearable.
Trusting you are not working for a company who hires hit men! It is unlikely they will send some one after you, but they may ask you for an explanation if you just don't turn up for work without saying anything.
I wouldn't worry too much about not getting a reference since this is only a temporary job, you could just write it off to bad experience. Trusting you don't makie a habit of this and you already have plenty of work experience and good references under your belt.
Some employers just don't appreciate their employees - so why bother to waste time with them. A good relationship is based on trust and appreciation and that goes for relationships in the work place too.

Unless your life is literally in danger, it's never a good idea just to walk out of your job or not go back.
First, you need to review the terms of your contract. If you violate any portion of it you could be sued. See if there's an option for you to both agree to release you from your contract.
It's only a three month contract; how much more time do you have on it? If they ask you to stay, you can always decline and you aren't required to give an explanation. To be professional, just say that you have an opportunity to pursue another interest and leave it at that. Never, ever just walk away from a job, especially if you're going to one that is in the same field. Although it's illegal for someone to detail more than just your salary range and time on the job, an employer scorned can ruin your prospects for another gig. Sometimes professional circles can be quite small and news travels fast.
Learn as much as you can from your current contract. Do the best possible job so you can't be accused of poor performance. Be an employee that they would be happy to give a good reference to, not one that they'd be all too happy to bad-mouth.

They will not send anybody after you, but they will terminate you with "Job Abandonment" for reason. It will affect you for future job opportunities you might have as most of the companies do a employement and reference check before considering you for a position. I would give them a two week notice, so you leave clean of bad references and with dignity. Those two weeks would give you time to obtain another job before leaving the unbearable job you hold now.

they are able to't do something to make you circulate decrease back. it is your existence and while you're unhappy, do no longer circulate decrease back. DO enable them to understand however.... You sound like a stunning guy or woman and deserve a nicer working environment, so do no longer circulate decrease back. The worst they are able to do is withhold pay owed (however i'm beneficial they are able to't do this...) you will ought to offer decrease back any keys, uniform or possessions however, and take a sturdy inspect any settlement you had. In case it suggested that any training they despatched you on must be paid for by applying you - decrease back to the employer - in case you left earlier a undeniable time (or volume of time...) i'm fairly beneficial they are able to't supply you a undesirable reference the two, yet they are able to refuse to offer you one.... in case you have had yet another job the full time you have been there, then you definately do no longer ought to point out you ever labored there! sturdy good fortune :)

I walked out on my job and never clocked in when I noticed that I was placed on Cable Installer when I was hired as Warehouse Distirbution. I handed over my Disbaility Papers and they still fired me.....terminated on the spot for refusing to work.
I called the EEOC (Equal Employment Oppurtunity Commission)
I filed my claim.\
\\An investigation was done and guess what woo hoo, they fricked up.
When I asked for accomodation and submitted my paper work and still got fired they (The Company) had a bad bad day trying to explain that to the EEOC
I received 6 months back pay wages totaling $15,000
and they had to hire me back. I never went back. I drove down there after I got my check and walked up to Kevin (the Manager) and laughed in his face and showed him the $15,000 dollar check from the Company and told him who got the last laugh you SOB!! You should of seen how red his face got.
I was kindly escorted off the Company Grounds by security, but I had to get the last word in.
I cashed that check and threw a big party. It was my first win ever through the EEOC. They are there for you.
If I had not agreed to settle , it would of costed them alot more.
So I am here to tell you that justice can be served when employers violate the rules set down by the EEOC.

Hey, here's an idea. Why not be upfront with them. "Thank you for this opportunity, but I'm not the right person for the job. Please feel free to seek other candidates for the position, but I appreciate the chance you gave me."
Honesty is always the best policy. If they want to know why, just say you have personal reasons. Keep smiling. Don't argue. And you will leave with a clear conscience. Good luck. Don't just walk out or not show it. It just isn't mature, and you will cringe if you ever run into one of them again. Be bold!!!

Communicate... This word is to be taken to heart, because you either burn your bridge because of all the people they know who will find about you... or, communicate and give them notice so that they can be your reference.
References will create stepping stones so that you have a good reputation and your phone rings off the hook so that you can start making money hand over fist.
It's not an overnight process, but if you look at where you will be in five years, you will communicate and not play head games by running away so that it comes back to haunt you later.

no, not unless your military and AWOL. You have every right to walk off, legally, if you have a contract and breech it, you'll deal with the courts possibly, but not the police or anyone. But you're out of a job. It just doesn't look good if you use them as a reference,etc. IT's up to you.

You could keep your 3-month contract, and tell them that you have other obligations after that time period. Don't sign anything further.
If you were paid any money in advance, they could take action. If you are being paid as you go, I don't think they could do much--except spoil your employment record, making it harder for you to obtain employment in the future.
