So I have this contracting mindset, direct manager is not in my country , we are like outsourced desk. Funny to be a perm.______________________

Originally posted by ronkeen View PostI started this perm job and one perm team member, not manager, is talking to me as if he is going to be telling me what to do. It is day two tomorrow for me and I will be putting jedi effort in trying not to raise my voice on him in front of him as he is part of the existing perm gang, so I risk getting hated and needing to stand back a little.
The fecker said first day was easier for me, but tomorrow will be more serious. Yo noob it will take me 2 weeks to get up to speed. I am going to communicate that to him tomorrow, and it is gonna be by manly stand, still face . I will have him schedule a meeting in my calendar before talking to me, if he pushes it. The noob think can push around a contractor, you gotta show them from day 1 who the fack they are dealing with.
The issue though is that he is closer regionally ( similar province ) to the rest of the perm gang, so I might be taking stand against 7 people tomorrow. I have dealt with worse situations, before that noob was born.
Decided to write this here, as I know people here know what I am talking about.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

On a serious note, I find using a "Chess Clock" works wonders in focussing the minds of people who persist in micro-managing/interrupting!Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment
