the scenario..
you nail a contract.
the client says its a short piece of work (2-4 weeks, with one days notice)
you turn up ready to hit the ground running - knock the tulip out of it.
by the third week, you still dont have access to corporate applications, have been moved form 2 different workstations, have been given vast amounts of work and deadlines from a clueless project manager, and are feeling quite stressed, if not damn frustrated.
do you,
a) take the bull by the horns, start managing your manager and put yourself out, play the corporate game, build meaningful relationships to get you to where you need to be to deliver the work.
b) think, hang on a minute? i was brought in to do some work for 4 weeks, nobody can be arsed to set me up with what i need, so **** the deadline, why am i stressing myself out running around like a blue arse fly worrying about this?
answers..please..sirs..
[so far, my attitude has been very much b)]
