What does she look like....how big are her norks.....would you?

Obviously those are the issues to consider.

1. Like a Robbers Dog.

2. Almost invisible.

3. Unusually for me, no !!



Obviously, if she's been worth the effort, I'd have thanked her for putting a spanner in my project and invited her to a meeting in the stationary cupboard. Unfortunately, she's a wizzened old coffin-dodger.

I always try to justify having to do this tulip by the invoice amounts

Someone asked me yesterday how long my contract was for. I said it was about another twenty grand.

With only a week to run, hadn't you better find something else to go to?

Where's the 'like' button gone ??

It's a whole eight weeks. I'm at the low end of the food chain.

Ever tried to get HR to sack someone?

I built a team of 14 for my last datacenter transformation project. I had bounced so many internal CV's (read bobs on K.T visa's) that the internal resourcing manager went all out and found me some home grown local engineers (I had already hired 8 contractors and client co were getting annoyed about budgets) So in the end I had to accept this pair of shaven apes from the witel practice.

They ****ed up absolutely every job that I could find for them. Some of them as simple as go and clone that machine into a VM and stick it on the test bed...

They couldn't even make tea/go to Starbucks when the grown ups were working. Best of all they wouldn't work weekends because they wanted to see their family and insisted that they booked 3 weeks off work over the migration period.

They were causing some serious issues, and couldn't be trusted anywhere on their own. In the end I had to send one of the contractors to follow them around and mop up whatever they touched. They even made it onto the client facing risk log as being one step above retarded and most likely to destroy anything they touched (I managed to sneak that risk in 5 minutes before the weekly CAB and our programme manager missed the change and put it up on the projector before anyone else could stop him...)

Even faced with a list of ****ups as long as your arm and the client baying for them to be removed after one of them practiced "cluster up", "cluster down" "cluster failover" on the main SQL cluster during a UAT test...

Still working for the company and one of them is about to get promoted to a senior lead...

Was this in Dundee?

I met a couple of "shaven apes" (great description) there once. Worked for TRC. What a pair of c*nts they were :-(

Don't just spent a few weeks (off & on) trying to get at some data I know some idiot in Brum has. I know why she doesn't want to do it, it will expose the fact she hasn't done any work for the last 10 years. (she isn't the only one and we can't sack them all, we have also done similar in other areas and everyone stayed).

Succeeded today got someone senior to tell me in writing they knew where the data is and can get me it so long as this woman agrees which she won't. Pity I have Known her new boss (as of yesterday) for a decade years .

I have spent two days trying to get a sea of departments to move SCCM & AV from one server to another (they picked the oldest crappiest server which happens to run ERP). would take me about 2 hours including Pizza if I had the access.

Bloody politics, I hate being permie! but they pay me too much - now.

Took them the best part of a month, but just been 'terminated' citing 'the way I talk to senior members of staff'.

Don't say another word to them. tulip on their desks on the way out and see if they prefer that.

Tulip happens. You've had 1 months more invoicing and its time to update your CV and move onwards and upwards to the next contract.
