My Attention seeking dilema post

[Bagpuss]

Ever done a contract where you work your balls off and take up the slack for other departments, who go on holiday at key times, never work late, do sloppy work that affects you, but then manage to take credit for your work?

Priceless

I'm obviously not so good at politics


OK no real dilema, just a rant really

Yep. Then I get paid so don't give a toss after that.

Every contract is like this for me.

[Spacecadet]

you're putting in too much effort

[norrahe]

actually most of my contracts have resulted in me surfing the net, doing very little for several months.

Now I've got work to do, what kind of contract is that?

Yep. Then I get paid so don't give a toss after that.

I don't normally but 50 hour weeks and leaving the client at 11pm at night mean I don't have much time to not give a toss especially when very senior management are micro managing.

Selective deafness and a couple of cold ones afterwards. And anyway, WTF are you doing there till 11 if you are (only!) doing a 50 hour week?
