As far as the outcome, it's always been the same: short-term loss of revenue, but in every case it's cleared way for more fruitful projects.

But, be conscient that your 'strategy' doesn't work so clearly in other backgrounds: remove the ever expanding market existent in IT and add a family. Now you might have a loosing strategy on the long term. During a 'bear market' is an huge advantage to be trusted.

This way to leave is expensive to the employer in terms of the time lost before they realize you will not communicate again and a replacement must be found. Why did you choose to not communicate with them that you quit beforehand? I am genuinely curious because I have witnessed people quitting by suddenly ceasing all communication before and I completely fail to understand it. Note that this is not mutually exclusive…

You obviously had some serious problems with the people you abandoned suddenly with no warning. Why not learn to communicate?
Informed this guy I was not going to work any further with him, took another job on and simply ignored his emails/texts/whatever.
Blocked him from calling me (Android blacklist).
I just saw him one or two times, to collect the remaining payments.
I've been pretty formal when talking him, and whenever he asked "I'm doing things" was my reply.
I also left a one star review, created a mock twitter account, and berated the staff of a local, crooked towing company run by former police officers.
At a financial company, I reported my co-worker to the authorities due to a sensitive new project, his erratic behavior, and his public history of financial crimes somehow unknown to my superiors/HR.
At another job, I told my boss I hated my job just about every week for a few months (in so many words). Then I quit. Maybe that should have burned a bridge but he seemed happy that I basically was giving him a heads up, and I also delivered the project I was on before leaving.

This is really dysfunctional. You obviously had some serious problems with the people you abandoned suddenly with no warning. Why not learn to communicate?
