Shouted at!

Takes a very stupid person to shout at me.

Or one that is 5000 miles away.

I once had a client of the client scream down the phone at me. 'What the f**k are you doing you f*****g idiot'.

'Hang on' was the reply and I put the phone down.

1.5 hours later I turned up at his office in London, walked through the door and into his office and said 'What the f**k did you say to me?'

'Errr sorry bout that. ou're not going to hit me are you?. Let's go for a coffee. Y'

And that is a true story!

It is easier to stay sane in such environments if you imagine yourself as the special guest human in an episode of The Muppet Show.

I like that, and it sums up well my atitude to contracting.

I can't count the number of times I've been sitting in an office, looking around and thinking these guys are ******* mental!

I have to say, I can't imagine being on the end of some loony screaming that to me in a work environment.

If you're "that" good, and management is "that" easy. Why don't you work your way up the chain of command and practice what you are preaching?

let me guess:

* you're happy what you are doing
* you don't want to deskill
* you earn more money in a technical role
* the jobs are easier to land

or maybe you just prefer to keep under the radar, not have to make any decisions yourself and enjoy moaning about "bad management" as an excuse for your own failings?

I'm yet to meet a manager who wouldn't listen to a pro-active, intelligent member of staff coming to them with a plan of how to improve things - sadly that rarely happens and all they do is moan on forums.

General poking of SY with a virtual stick

This should be fun.


Anyone going on a popcorn run?

You know SY is waiting for me to 'pwn' him don't you?

Do you see it yet SY?

You complete and utter bell end. Do you even know what it is to be a contractor FFS?

It means I have to run my own company, do my own sales. Fook me if this bunch of clowns was the only reason I could eat I would fookin

I run other software development teams and development projects with ease because I plan, am meticulous about planning, plan some more and am always realistic.

I will also never allow a customer to push me around. If you have a decent enough relationship with the customer you should be able to horse trade without resorting to shouting.

Work my way up the food chain FFS. I run my own business you turd.

WHS. Except he's not technical.
By his own admission, Suity has "tried honesty, bluntness, surreptitiousness, peer pressure, diversion, embarassment. None of which have worked
In other words he's one of those ineffectual, passive-aggressive types we all know.
What an embarrasment.
