My little girl is now a contractor

[NotAllThere]

My daughter is starting her first job. And it's as a contractor. She's been waiting at the front desk of the company for almost two hours and nobody seems to know what to do or who to contact, despite having the manager's name and departmental details.

Takes me right back!

I told her.

Keep calm. Keep billing.

You must be very proud.

The same thing happened to me twice in my career.
Feel free to tell her it's not because she's junior, I had many years of experience at the time.
Both good contracts, as it turned out.

The clients and agents are just incredibly disorganised sometimes

sounds like UBS.

I did tell her that it's isn't unusual. She went home at 11:30. And was then contacted by her manager, who took full responsibilty and told her to bill for the entire day. She's a research scientist in pharma, doing something that I don't even understand the title. She starts working tomorrow and he'll be there to meet her at reception.

Possibly the most rewarding clients I ever had were pharma.
They were all doctors of something or other and very positive.
One additional benefit was the more representative ratio of women to men.

My current client is a total sausage-fest.
