crap boss- advice

[wantacontract]

right want a bit of advice...

I am leaving existing contract in a weeks time.

My boss is useless and micromanages and gets things wrong, likes to threaten people, contractors and permies, etc, etc...the usual crap boss..

now is it worth kicking up a fuss and undermine his authority in a big meeting soon by showing him up over a couple of things or should I just park it because I am leaving soon....

I don't know about you but I find contracting to be a very small world, possibly getting smaller with the prospective changes.
I wouldn't bother. Keep well out of it and let him dig his own grave. If he's as crap as you say he is he'll get found out.
That happened somewhere where i worked previously. Guy going around pulling in mega cash, massively blowing his own trumpet and talking about the great relationships he had with management. The same management that eventually gave him the push. It was a sweet day.

yeah it would feel sweet to show him up, but I just thought IT is a small world, is it really worth it...hence posting for some advice...

thank you.

I have read this reference in several posts now and struggle to see why contractor numbers are going to get smaller on a scale where this will become noticeable, when these changes come in force next year. Possibly numbers will dwindle but surely most of us will stick it out and just carry on. I will be for sure.

Act as a leader.

You can talk to him in a constructive way.

It would be nice to think it will no longer an easy touch and contracting by numbers so the droves if people with less experience won't be so tempted... But sadly..
