    Thanks for that. I am not quite in to the vernicular, it's mostly Turkish slang here.

      So I have this contracting mindset, direct manager is not in my country , we are like outsourced desk. Funny to be a perm.
      I'd be interested to see how your CV reads judging by your style of writing here, as to why you have not picked up a contract in 2 years...

        I think you are being harsh and showing your age. Contract applications are made by instagram these days.

            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.
            Is English your first language?

              Why, are you thinking of grooming him?

                  Nah. It means you're a twonk who couldn't cut it as a contractor nor as a permie. Perhaps a change of career is in order. Have you tried stand-up comedy?

                    On a serious note, I find using a "Chess Clock" works wonders in focussing the minds of people who persist in micro-managing/interrupting!

                      Today is your second day. When did the other person start that makes him a noob compared to you?
