Originally posted by dang65 View PostShocking. I look forward to at least a week sitting around at the start of a new contract, completely unable to do any work or log in to any systems and having to be escorted everywhere. It's all part of the deal.
It had never happened so fast before, nor since, and it turned out to be a brilliant contract with lots to add to my CV.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Bloody hell. Talk about organized!
I worked at the head office and new starters would often end up spending time at other business units' offices and eventually would become part of that business unit at which point their IT would be migrated - this company had different IT setups for each business unit!
On a couple of occasions, when I would ask the employee if I could make the arrangements to migrate them across to their new BU's network, they would refuse (in a nice way) as they preferred the IT support that I gave them because it was more efficient.Comment
