    PM troubles !

    At what point do you tell a PM where to shove his contract !? It's close to home, the work is pretty cushy but the PM is hard work and seems to need to create some form of aggro each and every day. Very close to telling him where to shove it. Please help to whip me into a frenzy then I can get the job over and done with !

        Aren't those services chargeable?

        PS The pm mentioned you were not a team player, didn't toe the line and were not on board with you colleagues.

          I am sorry, rootsnall, but it is my management style, innit.

          DP is right - I just need a big hug.
          Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.

            Yah. Record it under 'Entertainment' or 'Miscellaneous'.

              Never chuck it! Just count the cash.

                Oh that sort of PM. What a let down - For a minute there I thought we'd be hearing of yet more troubles afflicting *the* PM.

                  Given recent posts on here about people being benched, I'd count to 10 and try to forget it. You know the guy is a pr*ck, you're earning good money (hopefully) so head down and get on with it!

                  And remember this handy code snippet:
                  for (; ; ) printf("Think of the money...");

                    Very wise words.

                    A very good man here was asked to walk today - psycho test manager pushed him too far. Needless to say, psychos normally win.
