Perhaps she was broadcasting unedited footage of the Iraq and Afgani wars and had a tipoff from the MOD.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers. -
Has she just had a kid, like in the past few weeks?Originally posted by premiereA contractor who sits just a few desks away from me...and has only been here 3 weeks, has just been fired...her manager and security waited by her desk as she cleared her stuff and then escorted her from the premises.
She was in almost in tears!
Christ, how embarassing must that be...being marched off site!
Though I didn't know her that well, the rumour mill is that her boss felt threatened by her techie knowledge, so got rid.Coffee's for closersComment

She now intends to sue them for sacking her once they found out that she was a media craving, annoying, 'world owes me a living', 'have my cake and eat it' whore.Comment

Or for going to the BBC with her tales of woe instead of Tonight with Trevor MacDonaldOriginally posted by PondlifeShe now intends to sue them for sacking her once they found out that she was a media craving, annoying, 'world owes me a living', 'have my cake and eat it' whore.Coffee's for closersComment

Can't be her
The manager 'felt threatened by her technical knowledge', if her tech ability is as deep as her financial ability then there is no chance.Comment

find out more premiere.... we need to know the sticky details...
Surely they would have to fulfill the contract unless they could prove gross negligence or incompetence..
How can they leverage her out... have they bitten the financial bullet and put her on gardening leave..--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK...OK.
You all asked for more info...
I took a couple of key players here (they are contractors too), for a 'tall latte' in the restaurant, so you all owe me for the coffee's!
Turns out she was:
A. Useless
B. Clearly didn't know what she claimed she knew on her CV
C. In the 3 weeks she was here, was off sick 4 times (a single day each time)
D. Aggressive in a client meeting
Also found out she has been in the UK for 4 months and her last position (abroad) was for Wipro.Comment
