    Unfortunately the contract also has a similar component. If the end client complains about the outsourcer's failure to deliver, and makes a major fuss about it, I get hit in the pocket. I'm there to keep the client happy. Problem is I'm uncomfortable with the make up of the team (50% newbies) and only 6 months to deliver. Ho, hum.

        I'm just too scared of being a permie so contract it is. Start 2nd of February.

        Please keep my bench seat warm because I will need it back in 6 months.

          I should think it will be warm enough anyway on the 2nd August.
