So. I find out that a permie colleague has lodged a 'formal complaint' against me with HR. A long, and boring story - but she is revealing herself to be slightly unhinged. I've had to endure a couple of 'interviews' with HR; and managed to keep some semblance of calm throughout. The complaint is based on something that didn't happen - in any way, shape or form.
My Programme Director has turned out to be surprisingly massively supportive throughout - I hadn't realised this has all been going on for a while now. I pointed out to him that I have no interest in liaising with HR as a contractor (which he is, too). He asked me to put up with it, and not to do owt rash. I agreed, but it's all been an unbelievably protracted process.
I handed my notice in yesterday - the entire thing has been dragging on too long, and is too ridiculous for words. The idea that I may end up being asked to leave the programme because of this load of crap, is not worth contemplating. I know this sort of thing happens - all the time, but it's so naffing unfair; on this contract of all of them.
I don't want to leave. I really, badly, don't want to have to leave. But I couldn't see an alternative - how could I continue to work with this twat, after what she's done.
So I'm quite chuffed to report that she's been removed from the programme with immediate effect, and I've been offered a new contract, with a longer duration to tempt me back. Might keep 'em waiting till after the weekend before I confirm.
I hope the above post doesn't give away the 'MP is MF's sockie' secret.
P.S. Glad it all worked out.Comment

I had a conversation - IN A DIFFERENT ROOM - with another member of the team. It was a slightly...terse conversation to say the least.
Nutjob claims to have 'overheard' the conversation, and is claiming I said certain things; none of which I did.
Rather than tell her to eff off and get a life - HR have taken this further. Turns out she has form for this kind of thing, and I'm next on her list.
She doesn't like me because I am, frankly, brilliant.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
