    Strike early or wait for blame game to start?

    Permies in my project are resigning left, right and centre and those who are left behind have no idea what they have to do. Ultimately, it will always be the contractor who has 'goofed up'. I have all the ammunition with me to strike early and present the facts and figures of my work to the management....or should I wait for the blame game to start in a couple of months when the project turns tulip...?

    No, you should tell management what the problems are and your plan for pulling it back together.

        WES - also when you tell them make sure you have also put it in a document which you also bcc'ed to your ltd company email account.

          Keep calm and carry on invoicing.

          LOL! Yep, that'll work.

            management don't care - contractors

            will be fired if project fails.
            If they have large budget tell them only if you are critical to the project.

              Why don't you do what you were contracted to do and stop playing politics like a permanent employee?

                Absolutely say nothing, this isn't your problem.

                Only reply direct to any criticism, otherwise just let this blow over your head.

                When everyone leaves left right and centre everyone knows the Proect management has f***ed up, no sense in stating the blindingly obvious.

                  This is one of the main reasons I left permiedom, to get away from exactly this kind of game-playing. Unless you're being addressed/criticised directly, I would just get my head down, carry on with the task in hand, and carry on invoicing, ensuring I'm doing everything I should be as per the original reason my LtdCo was hired...

                    It would if it was me. Are you a bit rubbish?
