Contracted terminated 3 weeks before end/Client Behaviour

Plus often you need to work to internal procedures etc, standards, - its not just a case of coming up with your own work plan - it needs input and support from other people.

Of course there are internal procedures. Have you asked the right people what those procedures are? Have you asked how you can help, or are you just assuming wrongly? Are you trying to re-invent existing procedures and rubbing people up the wrong way?

I am speaking from experience and someone who has made those mistakes in the earlier years, and have changed sides to working in the governance department.

Hunt out the Project Support / Quality peeps and get friendly with them. If you get on great, and they share your concerns about the project, they may well get another PM to take you on board.

I will not say good luck, but, make wise decisions and get a positive attitude to get you through.

If you have no work to do, then its bad management, I am in a similar position, and those that are trying to blame you are doing the usual buck passing. One of the contractors here tried to be proactive and the manager told him off . Make a note of the client and avoid it in the future. Just keep invoicing until end of contract.

Interesting....I remember my last contract. My manager phoned me (he was in Laaandan you see) to inform me I was to leave immediately. I logged out, closed my bag, grabbed my coat and left.

To leave on a top secret mission for MI6?

Blimey. Why?

Blimey. Why?

Didn't ask, and not interested in knowing. I already was working on another contract so just rang them and said I was available full-time now.

Perhaps that explains the SPAM e-mails I get from Sir John Sawers!
