Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View Post100% agreed - I feel a duty to politely point out based on my experience if I think something is not going to work, beyond that (and a written record that I did), the meter's running and it's their issue - the joy of being a contractor is that it doesn't matter if you work for people who have no idea what they are doing as long as they pay up.
Problem here is, my boss is making bad decisions which will work for the first six months, then break and his view is, because the business didnt define the 6months+ bit then it's not his problem. Ive been here almost two years(1 as a contractor) and for gods sake I am presently having to consolidate and sort all of the bad decisions made my other people two years earlier. So I want to make sure that we dont make the same screw ups. Heres been there 3 months!
Needless to say, I tell him quite strongly when he makes a bad decision.
