It doesn't mean being a nob, but when it comes to business, I only care about my own. What other people do/negotiate/get paid/whatever is their problem, I do what I need to do.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostBecause he is meant to be a commercial supplier in a business relationship. Why should the client, who may have less work to do and less ash available, accommodate a supplier who has now decided that he wants to turn up and work some billable days, where previously there was no need for that supplier to work? It's a real permitractor view of 'Oh I've cancelled my holidays so I don't want to use up my leave'.
Psycho informed his client that he wasn't available - he's now unexpectedly available and offered up his services. They declined, both are fine.
He could at least create a sense of urgency for why he's needed and then advise the client that he's cancelled his time off to accommodate the client's needs.
Posts like yours are what make people come here, shake their head and leave. Exactly the same scenario plays out in business to business consulting relationships all the time - client wants x person for y time. Consultancy originally says no, then something changes and they go back and offer it up - getting billing days is business.Comment

It's perfectly acceptable to rework things, go back and say "Oh, we can actually deliver the 100 if you'd like". It's also acceptable for them to say "Oh, nah, 80 is fine"

I mean, he *could*. It would be pathetically transparent and make him look a tit, but sure he *could*.

Why do people always resort to this when they've got little more to say? Coming from you, it's particularly ironic.Comment
