No more

[suityou01]

Cannot take another week like last week.

I am sick of hearing "the business has had its expectation set"

meaning "I have promised the business without seeking estimates"

I am sick of being told to get in at 7:30, when no one else shows, and being told I need to stay until 5 but I am only getting paid for 8 hours.

I am sick of being asked for something at 9:30 and promising it for 11, and getting hassled for it at 9:45.

I am sick of getting in at 7:30-7:45 every day, and working til gone 6, with the boss swanning in at 9:30 and then making my life a misery.

So, from tomorrow.

I AM A CONTRACTOR.

If 8 hours a day is the maximum, then so is it mine.

If you ask me to do something, I will want to sit with you and get a spec. Then I will give estimates. These will include time to develop test plans. We will agree a timescale. We will stick to it. I will not be bullied.

I give me until around 12 to get fired by pursuing this.

When I was a permie, to avoid the traffic, I'd arrive at 7:30, and so leave at 16:30. Lots of tuts and raised eyebrows.

So I switched. Arrived at 10:30, left at 18:00. "Good ol' NAT - always last to leave the office".

Suityou01 you sound like a right doormat.

Slacker!

I'm at my desk by 8am most days and work through til 9pm.

Suityou01 you sound like a right doormat.

Sure, but you sound like a right thick twat for missing the whole point of the thread.

Why is it everywhere you go there's always something wrong?

You either can't get on with the other contractors or permies, boss is a tw@t or the work is too difficult, not enough work, too much to do, porridge too hot or too cold...

Just a thought Goldilocks - it might be you....

Can you see now where the sock puppet accusations come from?
