      You changed 'signing on?' to 'cottaging with Suity?'

      I think Zoiderman may be right about you?

        [QUOTE=suityou01;1523095]The last two gigs I have done have been total and utter nightmares, being 10 nil down before you even start. I think this is contracting, ie they only get the contractors in when the tulip really hits the fan. At least then when it does, it's the contractors fault and not the permies that totally fooked it.

        I never enjoy projects anymore. Happiness was the days when work meant an empty rack and a load of Sun equipment in the loading bay.

        Unless you are on board for the project initiation or have influence in the wider programme you are always going to be screwed if you pick up a stream in a programme that was planned by some one else... It's important that you use assumptions and risk logs properly and ensure you are given a project that can be deliverable, IMO Its better to be sacked for calling the programme manager a donkey in an open meeting, than taking his figures and project plan as gospel and failing to deliver...
