What's the limit of your "Keep Invoicing" mantra?

Maybe, but morality doesn't pay the bills, put food on the table and keep a roof over your head.



It seems that, to this particular client, he is justifying his day rate simply by being a bum-on-a-seat. After all, if the client thought it was useless him being there, then he wouldn't be there, would he?

Morality is more important than keeping a roof over your head IMO.... I guess if your clientco refuse to give you work and are happy to keep paying you then fair enough.

I always go over and above what is required..... In the odd case you end up in a "public sector attitude" company which means you just need to send a few emails and attend the odd meeting, in that case you can only lead a horse to water.....

PS client at the moment. Sometimes it works not in your favour to try and help. Sometimes they're so stuck in their ways you'll have a negative impact trying to change them.

Very true...... I heard this is likely why I had my previous contract cut a bit short, I was actually trying to get stuff to move.

If I were in your shoes I wouldn't be to concerned about your CV. You can present it how you like.

I tend to move on when the boredom or environment is making me unhappy or if the project I am working on is very seriously flawed (clinically unsafe in a healthcare setting).

Close to home is a big bonus particularly if you have kids.

You can be a long time on the bench, was out last four months of 2017, not nice.

The goal is try to invoice for 50 weeks in 2018.
