Found out I can get 8 weeks work done in about 2...

[Scrag Meister]

Client's asking for a lot of repetitive work to be finished, I've found a way to cut that lead time way down, BUT there's no firm agreement of any work after that.....and very very unlikely they'll figure it out either, after the merry-go-round I myself went through to figure it all out...


Any instances where you have requested to be paid the full term as long as you just get the work done?

I work in RAD and compared to the strategic projects that are taking months and months to complete I am developing tools to get this new area of the business moving quickly and efficiently.

They love the work I am doing.

Due to a major cock-up somewhere else in the organisation there is a load of bureaucracy coming in that slows my development process down quite considerably, but it's still a whole load quicker than the strategic projects get stuff done.

They are happy, I'm happy, what's not to like. Been paid on time every week of the last 18 months.

It's your call really, take your time and run the contract out, or complete everything and leave early.

Been there, done that.

Since I was able to work out that finishing the job was the end of the road and that they weren't going to pay me in advance for finishing early, I kept my achievement quiet, kept my head down and hit the books on work time.

It's good to know high professional standards were upheld and you aren't giving our whole profession a bad name.
