    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 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

            Confusion is a natural state of being

              Discuss.
              Real contractors don't get shed loads of work dumped on them by senior managers.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    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'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.

                      I wonder how many of those were served by suity?
                      All of them, with my own special brand of chocolate sprinkles

                      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.
