Currently working with colleagues to guess what changes the "manager" made to the SQL before leaving on holiday.
We've found one case where he "cleaned" it up without real need, and now it fails; and another where there were defect tickets and he fixed them but left the tickets open and told no-one. It proved impossible to replicate the fault and we finally found out why, it wasn't dumb users this time.
This is the "manager" who kept hassling me to work over Christmas and New Year. I notice he isn't contactable while on holiday.
And hassled me at weekends twice since then. Got me to put in a change to Prod on Friday afternoon, then panicked when it didn't work and asked me to fix it, while I was on the way to the airport. Then did exactly the same again the next weekend, aited till Friday afternoon.
That's why I'm getting into these threads about leaving mid contract, can you blame me?
And I'm thinking of a separate moby for work, that goes off when I do. Mind you, I left my phones off one morning at the end of December when I was on holiday and "not available", and he just got more and more strident in the messages, emails, and texts, up to telling me that it was unacceptable that I didn't reply all morning. That was when he wrote himself out of my good books.

Just talked to agency. They admitted that the FIVE previous contractors all quit, one after the other, over 6 months.
