    Nasty Contractors

    Has anybody every worked with really nasty, unfriendly contractors? I have worked at several places both as a permie and now contracting and have never had any issues with any of the people working around me. This time round there is this really nasty and unfriendly contractor who doesn't speak or communicate with anybody and is just plain rude. The first few days I made an effort to talk and communicate but have now given myself the challenge to see how long I can avoid talking to them......

    Feel like smashing the person against the wall....

        Yes, I've met a few but haven't found that they are in the main, mostly colleagues have been of similar mind.

        What does surprise me however, is that they actulally get roles in the first place and then stay in them. I guess it's gotta be a mix of tech expertise and client laziness.

            Wierd yes, nasty no*. I have met and worked with some exceptionally nasty permies and customers over the years.

            *in RL - there are four or five pieces of work on here.

              Have you considered they might have personal issues? Me neither - just go and thump em.

                I heard MF had retired on the back of the 30% profit he is going to make from ....... first class stamps.

                  I have managed to go a full 24 hours without even looking or talking to her. I am hoping to do it for the whole time she is here...
