I wouldn't have minded the option of a rate cut - where I am they gave us all notice and we are having to train up the Indians to do the job. So I'm getting a 100% rate cut in just under 2 weeks.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I would find it very hard to act professionally under such circumstances.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostComment

To take advantage of the oft-used analogy: "you've got a plumber in doing some major work. Half-way through you tell him you're bringing in a cowboy and he has to show the cowboy what to do, then clear off. What would the plumber do?"Originally posted by Jubber View Post
(I'm clearly not cut out to be an investment banker: I couldn't bring myself to do that. They really are selfish, self-serving put-money-before-people's-lives bastards, aren't they? Still, if society as a whole moves slightly away from the "money is more important than people" philosophy, all this crisis will be worthwhile, IMHO.))Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

I'm just getting all my stuff together and automating the lot using VBA - he has no VBA knowledge so there is no way I can teach him that in the time we were given and there is no way I would try. So long as nothing changes (an that won't happen) things will work fine. If something changes or he forgets to do something then he's kind of fooked. If they want me back to rectify things it will be on my terms.
The best one was I do a role where I generate fingerprints in Enterprise Discovery to detect applications and utilities which are outside the normal HP monthly updates. There are only a few people in the country who do this - it's not hard it's just most places don't need it. They tried to get a contractor to replace me but all the agency was offering £170 a day for it. The contractor we originally got in to teach us charged £1200 a day. So if my training has not been up to scratch on that front then that is more like the rate I'll be charging.
I doubt they will need me back in the future but if they do then the boot will clearly be on the other foot.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
