Official CUK bench - Late Summer 2015

[suityou01]

Things looking up...

Interview next week, local, decent rate... everything crossed

Good show. Here's hoping for you bud.

Aaaaaand still not heard back. "Feedback by the end of the week" is either very very literal, or they have no intention of delivering on their promises.

This is starting to become worryingly common practice these days.

[FatLazyContractor]

Just heard back from the manager who was very apologetic and embarrassed about what she did. Apparently she raised my PO against the wrong cost center. The owner of the CC tuliped on her this morning and that was how she knew it

She re-raised the PO on the new CC this morning and it is now in the queue for approvals

This means I will probably not start work on Monday. And that means I will not be travelling on Sunday. And hence I can watch all rugby matches over the weekend

What do you mean "these days" ?

I'd personally forget the contract and move on. If there ever was a real gig and if the client is efficient enough, they would have made a decision by now.

I think you're right. The agent says he has done a lot of business with this hiring manager and it is highly unusual not to get feedback in the agreed timeframe. Indeed he has tried to contact other members of the team apparently.

It's all rather odd, particularly unpleasant and highly unprofessional.

I unclog my nose in their general direction.

The agent says

That is where it should ideally end.

It seems to be the norm these days. Guess we as contractors should baseline it and have conversations with agents keeping that in mind

Cold morning.

Sunny.

Bored. Need some action.

Expecting a message from the PM today about the status of contract. Desperate for some action as I'm bored to death at home.

Trip to the Dry cleaners in some time. Found some stains on my Hugo Boss suit jacket

Ho-fecking-hum

Hope it comes through for you bud.

Called the pimp about the gig I am still waiting for feedback on. He is mysteriously on a lengthy conference call.

Interview Tuesday and also moving house. Fingers crossed...

You're like the cretin version of Waiting for Godot.
