Did anyone ever get this? In a gig and the department has one or two systems that are ailing. I have voiced my opinions quietly and been asked to report in writing as to what the issues as I see them are. Before I could finish this report, I have been moved from project to project and have just not been given the time to consolidate my thoughts.
Yesterday they held a brain storming meeting, to which I voiced my concern that it was a little premature as I hadn't finished my report. In the meeting I got a strong sense of "don't listen to the contractor", and every time I tried to chip in I was talked over.
These guys have got themselves in quite a pickle here, and I was told when I started that my opinions were wanted as I was a subject matter expert. Say one thing and do another eh?
The last contractor to go on holiday got canned, as she has spotted irregularities as well and tried to point them out. I am on paternity leave in about 3 weeks all things being equal.
I'm not sure what I am asking here, but I seem to spot a pattern in my contracts.
1)hired as subject matter expert.
2)usurped by worried permies.
3)back on the bench.
I feel slightly aggrieved here as I even asked them, if they just wanted a code monkey I was happy to be that guy and tow the party line, less work on my part after all, but I was told to carry on voicing my opinions.
I guess next time I am asked for my opinions in a gig I shall just not have any, which seems like I am exposing myself as not delivering what they asked for.
