Strike early or wait for blame game to start?

LOL! Yep, that'll work.

Depending on how senior you are on the team if you simply say nothing you could find:
1. You are blamed for the failure, and,
2. You aren't paid for the last month and/or they try and get money back from you.

I've seen it happen a few times, and the people who don't get shafted are the ones who make it clear verbally and following it up in email, what the risks are that will cause project failure and possible solutions.

Once you outline the risks and solutions once you ignore them and carry on. This means you allow the rest of the team to b*tch and back stab.

It doesn't stop them not renewing your contract but they are careful when they do 1, and definitely don't do 2 as they know you can take them to court.

BTW you don't have to be a PM to be senior in the team you just need to be responsible for one or more specific deliverables that involves other inexperienced people's input.

It would if it was me. Are you a bit rubbish?

No, Im fine thanks. Plenty of repeat business and just asked to extend again today. I know when to speak up and give the client the benefit of my POV and when its not needed.

But you clearly are see yourself as something superior needing to stick your oar in whenever it suits you

This is spot on. Sadly the other fella assumes too much.

I wouldnt disagree with most of that.
