Working slowly to justify your position

[Robinho]

No because:

1. I have morals
2. I have professional pride
3. I'm not a thief. Gaining money by deception is not my bag.

Cheers for adding to the ever growing feeling that British contractors are lazy and overpriced , but as long as you're gaining hey?

I'm not lazy, i've done all this work way before it's been asked of me. I'm not a thief either, i've done what is asked of me.

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever been booted because of their own efficiency.

No, but I've booted people for being arrogant.

[Robinho]

Where have i been arrogant?

Just defending myself with facts.

Hard work always pays off. If you are good, you will build a good rep.

There are arrogant bright younguns in my team who are lazy- I am hard on them - actually I tried to get one sacked but my boss talked me out of it.

I've left at least 4 contracts I can think of early because I did the work too quickly. In every case though, I went early telling the client that I was bored & wasn't going to sit on my hands doing nothing and reasoning that they're going to save money. 3 of those clients have asked me to do work for them again.

That's the way to do it. Life's too short to waste your time.

You are lazy.

Wherever you are there is always work to be done, if not then you need to be honest and stop decieving your client.

Do you seriously believe if you went to your client and said "I've finished my tasks early, do you want me to work slowly to justify my position?" they wouldn't ask you to go?

You are supposed to be reputable and indirectly your behaviour affects the industry. Tell the client and leave early and go and WORK somewhere.

It's harsh, but its both lazy and deceptive. Earning money by deception is theft in my view, but then I do have a low guilt threshold.

Right now I'm cleaning out people with your attitude from fleecing a charity run entirely from donations.

^ this.

Seeing the old contractor cliches come out on here is a poor reflection on the industry, although nice to see the good guys talking sense.

Sorry but you don't even know me.

I have already specified that i am going to do some more unit tests with my spare time so i don't see a problem.

Do you know precisely WHY the tester is getting behind in his work? Is it your software that's causing problems? Is there some silly organisational bureaucracy getting in the way? Is he being asked to write test cases at such a low level that it takes 10 times as long as actually testing? Have you offered to help, as a team member should do?
