    Have you got a PDP...

    Permies eh......

    Competency, Action Plans, Objectives, PDP's, FJP's

    They take up fekin too much time, setting objectives, creating actions plans to achieve them and then justifying competency.....

    Is it me or do they spend more time on these rather than doing real world work.

    I have yet to see a justification for all the above. maybe set an action plan to myself to try and get my head around it all.

    Wot a fekin liberty
    whats the lowest you can do this for?

          They wanted to do one for me here and I'm not a permie - Told them where to go with thier PDP!!
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

              Currently working 'Agile'... which means the company don't know what they want, and 50% of the department sits in one room with new books being delivered from Amazon everyday, they have no set deadlines so do what they want (i.e. arrange two hour meeting every now and then to discusss which 'process' to feck around with for a few weeks, who is the 'champion' of a particular aspect of their doomed project, talk incessantly about over complicated and fragile domain models that use inheritence all over the shop, hide database issues with NHibernate, while me and one other guy keep on ignoring all the BS and get software out on time.)

              Every single day this 'team' has a delivery of the latest books from Amazon - and then a few days later we hear they have set an agenda for a new discussion about 'process'.

              Never seem to write any effing code though.

                  Last time I did one as a permie many years ago, I just printed some jargon generator text.
