    Contractor fall guys

    .... Just found out that im the FORTH, yes FORTH person to quit this gig over the person ive been assigned as my technical architect.

    Bit naff being another in a line of people who have had to deal with this - but at least i dont have to take it personally, and theres some good things lined up back home.

    Shame i had to come all the way to a foreign country to find this out on my first ever contract

            I probably know him. I worked with a TA who was an absolute spoonbender and, unusually for me, during an exit interview, I mentioned that one of the reasons I was turning down the extension was that I couldn't work with him anymore...

            Older and ...well, just older!!

              ahh man ...can't believed you bailed...thought the higher powers talked you into staying..

              contractors are in a good proportion of the time called in when tings are badly managed.. so bad management pretty much comes with most gigs.

              always cover your back with a paper trail and think about the money.
              Its all about the personal goals!

                Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

                  Nah Kramer, ive now realised i just wanna be back home - working away aint for me Plenty of work around that doesnt involve 6 hour trips home at weekends, and having to bunk on flea bitten beds. Ha ha ha.

                  ....... Life's too short to work with people who you dont like, or are making an outright effort to make things difficult

                  Now wheres my FORTH book.....
