The last week for me has mostly been spent tidying up a fellow TA's deliverables because he didn't want to write documents all day 
The silly twat took a job that was: 300 miles away from where he lived, required that he be onsite most of the week and that he would not be actually doing any engineering work any more because that stuff is given to cheap labour as opposed to £500 a day client facing Architects.
So after a month of delivering basically nothing, he goes off the deep end stating that he doesn't want to travel, doesn't like writing documents all day and wants more hands on work
I wish the twat was a one off but it seems more and more of the contractors I meet: Not only deserve the IR35 tax avoidance bashing we are getting at the mo, but actually should not be let out on their own in the mornings...
I took the idiot to one side and pointed out that he had just been raised out of the 300 a day engineer bracket into the 500 a day easy to print money bracket and that this was a situation that I had faced 10 years ago and the results were not too bad for hanging up the boots to manage. Even offered to help him to learn to write docs properly and get him established into the finer points of being a Archermeetekty thingybob but no he wants for go and feck about playing with windows boxes....
For fsck's sake what ever happened to taking the money and doing a job...
