    What's the market like?

    Been back at work this week. Immediately summoned to the US leaving on Sunday.

    Huge amount of prep work done. Project planning, task setting. I met with everyone, 1 on 1 and as team meetings. Everyone was tasked.

    Come back and the project has moved on inches, not the miles it was supposed to be on. The project manager thought that my deputy was moving it on. He thought that the stakeholder was doing it and as an ex-developer spent time doing coding on something else(I sort of lost track of time he said). She thought the PM was doing it. Meanwhile the developers coded something completely different because the sprintmaster put the wrong priorities on the stories and so they did the wrong sprint.

    They've now put my 'pissy attitude' on last nights call down to 'cultural differences'.

    Already stressed and not sleeping again.

    Please

          The market for people with the right skills is booming. Work from home as well. Only cretins would run around like a blue-arsed fly to make a living.

              He's in the US so thats not an option.

              However as pondlife says ask Suittty he'll know what to do.

                    It's a place where people put stalls selling fruit and veg at a profit and unwanted sledges for less than they paid for them.
