It shows how ridiculous the idea of a code freeze is. The developers are just stressed because they've been given an arbitary deadline.Originally posted by Zippy View PostIt sounds like you need a new development team. It is totally unacceptable to announce major problems the day before code freeze.
I blame the BA.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

The PM sounds like he's got his head in the sand and the developers sound like they're all from offshore.
At the end of the day it's the PMs responsibility to get it all sorted, as long as you've covered your ar$e as a BA then keep invoicing.
If you are trying to use this as an excuse for leaving the contract then don't whine and start looking on jobswerve.Comment

That's so 1990's ... charge them £2000.Originally posted by TheBigYinJames View PostBedwetter.
What a real contractor would do would be to rent a couple of prostitutes, set fire to the building, vote Tory 10 times, kick a beggar, drinka bottle of whisky and bill them £1000 a day.Comment

I always get the impression that you can't cope with stress very well, and look for reasons to leave when times get hard.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostThe development team are constantly failing ...
The PM's got to sort it out. Leave it to him. Do your job and do it well. If other people are causing issues to your role, note them, highlight them but most of all try your best to resolve them. Then invoice.
If you really don't like it, terminate the contract. Life's too short.Comment

In a way that's true. I cope, cope, cope, cope, snap. I need to find a level. This contract is doing my nut in. I know that when I lose interest the best thing to do is leave. I have lost interest.Originally posted by Jeebo72 View PostI always get the impression that you can't cope with stress very well, and look for reasons to leave when times get hard.
