I don't know whether it would have any impact, but I still think you should tell them to bugger off and mind their own business. -

sounds to me like the perfect place for blame culture to thrive when deadlines are not met. "HE was 'meant' to do x/y/z .... not me , we agreed it !".Comment

That's it, if you want to help them with theirs then fine but you are doing them a favour. Trust me they will be putting down getting you a cup at the watercooler.
I used to help my colleagues,nothing was too much trouble, then I ended up in hospital and they shat on me. won't waste my time like that again.
I have my family, friends & bank account. My Colleagues have their problems - I'm happyAlways forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Client is pretty relaxed about how, where and when things get done, as long as they get done. Deliverable is fairly well-defined.
Others on the same project on the other hand are taking advantage of the looseness of the arrangement to make all kinds of suggestions as to what I should/must be doing, asking me to help out, etc. They don't really have any mandate to do so but this is not stopping them from trying.
Question: does this impact 'working arrangements' meaningfully, does it indicate client control? Should I be telling them where to go?Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment

Whereas I'm all for not letting others/client take the piss (if they can they will mostly) Im always a bit wary of this "I'm not doing x because of IR35".
Clients don't care about IR35. They just want the job done. If you prance around like an awkward twat then its gonna piss them off = no contract anyway.
Not saying there are some things that you should stick to guns with though but pick your battles....Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
