I've started a temp-to-perm job, where my employers signed me for 2 months as a freelancer, to "test me out" before hiring me as a full-time employee. After working for a few weeks, I've passed the probationary period and my employers said that at the end of the week, we would chat about how things are going, and they'll be extending an offer for full-time work.
While I'm happy to work for the rest of my 2 months, I'll be declining the full-time offer, in favor of going to grad school. I've looked around, and many people advise wait to only give a 2 week notice period, in case the employer decides to cut ties early. But should I go ahead and let them know what's going on before they extend me the full-time offer?
I am a little worried they will break the 2-month contract early, since office gossip says they've done this in the past with others (but for performance reasons). I'd also like to ask them about possibilities for part time or remote work.
