ClientCo are a bunch of disorganised clueless muppets that couldn't manage a turd in a public loo. They are quite slimy and try and smear and wriggle at every twist and turn. Their PM is a lightweight PM but heavyweight politician so every meeting you're just trying to dodge the smear, cover your arse and not get spattered. This in itself is tiresome and getting boring.
I got into IT to deliver systems. Good hard work and a bit of cooperation are the tools of my trade. This fetid pit of sharky arse wipes is horrible. Each and every one of them all about their own selfish ends with not a flying fook of a care about the project.
Nasty business.
Once challaneged the MD of a largish umbrella about this sort of behaviour and questioned why it was he was perfectley happy with his senior management team trying to avoid doing any work that would not lead to a benefit to them personally (and not to the company as a whole) and why he was happy with people who were quite clearly spending all day trying to ensure someone else got the sh1t rather than actually working as a team to further the companies goals.
He just looked at me and said he did not really care cos they were making a profit - boy did I feel dimComment
