Just a rant....

[David71]

One of the things I miss about being permie is having a workmate you can rant at; so you lot can get it instead.

Set up a process for stakeholder reviews of test designs last October / November - all stakeholders agreed. Project manager then decides to 'tweak' my process, moving activities around etc. I didn't like the changes, but there we are.

First meeting today and halfway through everyone agrees it would be better if we had the activities in a different order - exactly the order I set up in the first place

6 months on the current gig, just been asked if I want to extend until November (just waiting for a rate re-negotiation).

2 years on the gig before that.

6 months before that.

1 year before that.

Slotted in a three day gig at the same time as the 2 year one, I left as it wasn't what was 'sold' plus another I left early due to a family emergency.

Want a copy of my cv?

Absolutely correct. But the last time I had 'a manager' was October 2015 when I handed my notice in to him.
