Just the type of answer i was looking for!

Been a problem solving day and this one i just about couldn't get my head around solving!

Thanks for the feedback guys! It has pretty much confirmed what I had thought anyway.

I'm not a free lancer and I have been working for the company for nearly 4 years now so nearly everything I have in my portfolio was from a company they owned. All the sites were designed by the designers on the team and I coded them so, yes, it was a little hard to showcase them without just linking people to the live sites.

I've turned the site off now as it is not needed, if I make the decision to look for another job in the future I will reactive the site. By that time, I'll be long gone out of said company!

My manager was off for a week and over that time I had created the website, been to a job interview (three, in fact), accepted a new job and handed my notice in to HR.

So he came back to all the directors of each company (not sure which or how many) all having seen my showcase and putting pressure on him to talk to me about it. He was beating around the bush for ages trying to explain how the company doesn't want me to link to the websites and I just smiled, stopped him in his tracks and told him that it had done it's job and I will shut it down now anyway. . . . well... I'll rick roll them first.

Your right though, it came as a surprise to them that I'm leaving but the directors themselves who are putting the pressure on don't care that I am leaving so it can't be that.

Aww well, i guess you've just confirmed to me what I already thought. Just wanted to see if anyone else has ever had trouble showcasing their work on portfolios.

@Ste Hughes - IF you employed me and lost trust in me because I said I wouldn't work on a project due to religious reasons, I would say you were a pretty poor attempt at a boss and quit anyway.

@cibgraphics - I totally agree with you. +1

Although i agree with most people who have said for him to just get on with it. He did state that this job effected him for personal reasons so i think people could do with calming a little.

Where such job would not bother me in the slightest, it clearly bothers this person otherwise he wouldn't have posted about it so why not show a little bit more understanding about the situation.


Maybe if they elaborate more on why they don't want to do it for person reasons?

Bad past experience, religious family although not religious yourself? etc etc
