IT Contractor with unreasonable "Business" Contractor in charge

If any contractor thinks that they are above politics and don't need to worry about such things then only expect to contract for a short time.

I would be surprised if any long term contractor on CUK isn't versed in the dark arts of politic. Its what makes you successful.

Yip.

OP - Tell him you're grateful for the heads up, and that you feel it only right to let him know they all think he stinks of piss.

Also this is a case study for all those contractors who say "I don't do politics".

If you don't you'd better start learning, anyone who's worked 'alongside' one of the Big 4 consultancies will know what I mean...

I've spent ages passing contract adverts to a friendly salesman when the contract has been at an company I know my current clients (a consultancy) is already in.

This gives him an ability to have a dig at the salesmen and management who are ignoring the opportunities that clear exists and provides me with the very rapid escape route I'm planning to use next week.

In practical terms apply what MPS says. Its him against you and you need to unnerve him a bit.

Also a round of drinks on a lunchtime with your former colleagues will really tulip him off.
