Anyone ever turned down a contract?
I've just been to an interview where the PM seemed to be completely mad; he spent 30 minutes telling me all his tales of woe about his Client's software supplier, based in India (of all places?!?), the tulip deliveries, the constant delays that are only announced at the last minute, the complete incompetence of the developers etc and I thought 'do I need this in my life?' The man, who actually seemed like he'd be a nice bloke outside of the workplace, has obviously been driven to distraction; I suggested measures he could take, but every suggestion was met with 'I've tried that and it still didn't help' or 'they don't understand what a risk analysis/Moscow analysis/sprint planning etc is'
So there I sat, doing my social worker thing, smiling in recognition and laughing at his colourful and at times quite humourous description of the shower of cretins he feels he has to work with, thinking 'I can't really help this guy'.
I'm really thinking of phoning and telling them I don't want it.
