What would you do?

[TheFaQQer]

Out of interest, is this a public sector or private sector gig?

I'd be interested in which clients have money to burn on contractors that don't do anything. I'd fit right in there.

Public sector.

Kerching.

Are the results of the poll binding?

Absolutely not. I already know what I'm going to do, I just wondered what the experts thought.

[jmo21]

do you have all your normal coding tools?

start building your own stuff, practice things you haven't worked on before.

If you are able to get any new tools installed, get them on and learn them.

Could you ask to work from home? make that contingent in the extension?

what kind of place is it that doesn't give you web access?

do you have all your normal coding tools?

Not the usual toolset, a tiny, tiny subset.

If you are able to get any new tools installed, get them on and learn them.

No chance - it's a way away from the "normal" work that I do.

Could you ask to work from home? make that contingent in the extension?

No - very secure site that won't allow that kind of thing.

start bringing in books?

start disappearing to meeting in different parts of the building, and find some secluded nook to hide in?

I now hide a newspaper in the gents so I can hide there for a bit. For a while I had to be escorted round the building, so absolutely no space for hiding...

I take it you have already decided to walk?

When you don't care anymore - that's when you can negotiate. Decide what it would take to stay - 50% more pay? 50% fewer hours with the same daily?

Then quit if you don't get it.
