    Write something insulting and inflamatory about this guy on the toile door, and tell him you've just seen it.
    Hopefully that will be the catalyst for some office-based shenanigans.

        Par for the course at the moment. It happened on my last contract and we were asked to train up our much cheapness replacements. It wasn't worth making waves and I'd say if the contractor has been there for years then he's ripped the @rse out of that contract and should move on.
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

              These things are usually a slow burn, people will have a laugh at the time. But it will come back to bite him later.

                She could have just about blagged it in the title but agreed, the “Don’t give any un-billable advise” is a howler

                  That is why you need to put some distance between him and you. You don't want his issues to bite you too.

                  Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                    Just don't let it worry you.

                    At the moment cut all costs and just pile any earnings into your warchest.
