6 months of work thrown away

[Mich the Tester]

Got that all the time at one of my previous contracts.

Spent 6 months working on stuff only to be asked why I hadn't been told by my line manager that that part of the project had been canned

You gotta love communication or the lack thereof.

‘Why haven’t you been told that ….?’

Think for a moment about that question. What kind of imbecile would ask a question like that?

A programme manager?

A programme manager?

Well he’d have to be quite senior around here to say something as vacuous as that.

Found out today that last 6 months of my work is being canned by clientco due to a forthcoming merger.

Ho hum, it's only cost them about £100k

I wish I got your day-rate. sheesh!

I wasn't that worried, they ran out of work for me to do and I spent 6 weeks working from home despite asking for summat to do.

I didn't mind billing for that

It's all gone wrong. They get Bob in. It all goes chapel hat pegs up. You get invited back to fix it.

In all my career - working for blue chip clients and sitting on my backside warming the bench - i have only come across one colleague who used that phrase - you are ****** ******* and i claim my five pounds. :-)
