How long before SY01 gets tulip-canned?

[Xenophon]

The Programme manager is a petulant child with no grasp on reality.

DOn`t bail. Do a 'Dexter' special on the PM and take over his role? Two rubber pencils in the eyes should do the trick.
Or hang in there and try to learn as much as you can about the project, the people and your BA duties for the future. Treat it as a learning experience.

DO the best you can, document your progress for your own reference and for the company if they require it someday.

If you have to, make a joke of it. Once in a stressful situation in the workplace I just carried on with a smile and without getting stressed. I used the time to learn as much as I could about the people and situation while under my breath also making fun of the sitution, almost playing a game. It made it more bearable, I knew that I could just walk whenever I wanted but just made the best of it.

And how long did it last?

Indeed. The last 18 months of mis management, long stream of individuals getting tulip canned or leaving of their own volition and the state of the project I have been involved in for the past few working days is all my fault. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks so much.

And how long did it last?

Until the end, and I later returned to the client and they had noted some points I made known to them on my departure the first time so my second time there was hugely enjoyable.

It can go both ways though I suppose, but if you have the right attitude you may not worry too much which way it goes.

Another situation it went a little pear shaped but I left with my sanity intact, knowing exactly the reasons for things happening as they did.

Both learning experiences

I get through stressful contracts by imagining I'm the special guest human on an episode of The Muppet Show.

With a little expectation realignment I might be able to get through this.

1) It is a learning experience so learn what you can.
2) This child could turn at any moment, so just think of it as a one week rolling contract.
