I think the common denominator is my rotten bad luck to be honest. I have worked in IT for years without significant problems. Then this year .....

I can count no less than 6 contractors that have been canned by this *****. All in short succession. The permies hate his guts. I mean looooaaathe him.

He is one of those "ideas men" who says things like "don't bring me problems, bring me solutions". Total knob.

Find a mirror, gaze into it, and behold the solution to your problem. YOU

Don't you just hate contractors who join the project and open cans of big juicy worms all over the place, 'biging' up their part?

I see what you did there.

Not been there long enough to even do that. I just started, then learned of this character and everyone's opinions of him. Then the run in. That's it, that's all she wrote. Honest.

How the feck is this my fault?

So does this mean I am the problem or the solution?

[SorenLorensen]

Yes. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

It just sounds rather like you did just take crap from him...publicly too.

Yes, you are right. To challenge him in front of the crowd would have been suicide, contractually speaking. To let the dust settle and then gently confront him with a carefully worded email seemed like the best solution.

Then the ****er ignored me. That's what really grates.

Anyone ever worked for one? I can't believe my luck that having left a gig working for a rookie/bullie PM I now am reporting to an inexperience 40 year old going on 4.

He had a total hissy fit today. Made me feel a right back and front (sl) in front of the whole team. No need for it.

I cooled off, then sent him an email pointing out his inconsistencies. He did not even reply.

So this'll prolly be over in a day or two. The thing is when I joined the project I heard of a long tale of people he canned because he didn't see eye to eye with them. This'll be fun. SY01 does not take crap from anyone any more.

This needs a poll. "How long before SY01 gets tulip-canned"

Sounds like its time you got your balls out and showed your true value to the client co. Easy for you to rule the roost here.

Some people get a kick out of being humiliated in public - it's nothing to be ashamed of.

I am just getting on with the job at hand, and getting stuck right in. If they want my help they'll take it. If they want yes men who just take public ridicule and are afraid to ask questions then can can replace me with at least 2 permies for the same cost.

The choice is up to them.

Crumbs this bloke has got under my skin.

Yea you can use your hand if you like or get stuck in if you have a nice boy on your team. Time to sick your dick out and get ahead.
Sounds like you are in a position to get a long extension.
