Contract from hell

[LHM]

A living nightmare, dropped into an already established can of worms. I cannot make any impact due to being restricted by deeply embedded politics. The company was in dire straits and has recently been bought to turn it around. The role is nowhere close to what was agreed. 1 month into a 6 month. Cut loose or stick it?

[WTFH]

Stick with it.

How is your money situation? There lies the answer.

Are you man enough to deal with it and continue to invoice or do you want to voluntarily put yourself on the bench with no income?

Purely a personal choice this one. Do what YOU can cope with.

Too many assumptions NLUK.

[BrilloPad]

Keep calm. Keep invoicing. Carry on looking round.

From what I can tell from your previous posts, this is your first contract and you've been there just under a month?

Maybe you still have a permie mindset? Don't get involved with the politics and just get your head down.

It's the project manager/business sponsors problem to mitigate political roadblocks. Your job is to keep them updated on what they are.

I see from previous comments that this is your first contract? I would say stick with it, focus on trying to deliver and do your best to stay out of the politics. And keep your job search active throughout

After 1 month? Sorry we are not all like you and jump from 0% to 100% immediately. Give the OP a chance.
