      Are these your usual markups?

        Nothing untoward going on I promise!! I'm actually staying with Laura for the weekend, she suggested I post on here - I just borrowed her computer and used her saved credentials by mistake. I'll take a hard time for that. Thanks again for all the advice.

          Amazing you didn't sign in as Les either - since that's also one of "Laura's" accounts.

            As a contractor you are going to have gigs like this from time to time, it's a time-worn scenario. Team lead/senior out of their depth and covering this by appearing tough on supplier standards by getting rid of people constantly, I'm just always surprised that clients never seem to cotton on. These projects never deliver.

            I average one about every 8-10 years, usually, I jump before they strike. Happens more in defence projects due to the generally poor quality of project leads and utterly stupid management.

            As I keep saying, you need thick skin to stay in this game.

                  But they've been called out so surely know what to do with Lucy?

                  Edit: The deed has been done. Yay.
