Real contractors don't post on here during working hours

[minestrone]

I see a suity gig cycle has started again...

"I have this great job now"

"I have a problem can someone please help me"

"Nobody is helping me, I'm going to cry"

"I'm crying and nobody cares"

"I just quit my gig"

it seems like every couple of posts you have to mention Radbroke etc...

it must have been one hell of a place

It was a fantastic place to work. I was there in the "Andersen Consulting" and "FI Group/Xansa" days.

Did a good job too!

The floors and toilets were never cleaner

Since taking my last gig I'm swamped with senior management type stuff. Far too busy to loiter on here. So you lot must have really low end contracts, or are you all on the bench?



Discuss.

Real contractors don't get shed loads of work dumped on them by senior managers.

Buzy Gigs

Not all gigs are busy gigs - if you were a contractor then you would know that

When I firststarted contracting and found myself with hours to fikk a wise sage told me that there were easy and pressurised assignments - more than a decade on and I have yet to find a buzy gig

They're tough. They're mean.
Suity's Z team gets things clean.



The vending machine in the Officer's Mess has run out of crunchies again. Look sharp.

I thought the gig you were in was a vb dev job ? Or don't they trust you to code and get you to take notes in the meetings instead ?

I'm currently digging a SAP migration out of the tulipe. I am the development manager, with around 10 folks of various disciplines reporting to me. from the feedback I'm getting I am good at managing, and this is from the people working from me and those above me. I listen, and actually MANAGE rather than schlepping from meeting to meeting playing policed games and trying to climb the career ladder. I quite enjoy the challenge when the permies come running saying can't, no time, this woe, that woe. Then seeking out the solution. Don't get me wrong, this project is still wobbly and running behind but the amount it is running behind is reducing.

Ai prefer to work hard than loaf about so it suits me.

Just as a point of interest, I did a rough calc and it works out I spent ~ £230 last year on Latte's.

I wonder how many of those were served by suity?

All of them, with my own special brand of chocolate sprinkles

Just been extended so go and f-CUK yourself

Not dumped on me, I am just mopping up what I see as broken. I say no when I have enough on my plate, and manage my time quite effectively.

Suity in succeeding, and with style mode.
