Recently got into a new contract where my project manager is also a contractor who signs my timesheet. The permie boss we report to is in another location and is never visible; so it's always this contractor pm who reports my progress to him. It's being a month  and I do find this contractor pm put me up in a spot every now and then. Should i just ignore as long as I get my daily dough? What should I be wary off?

 Just watch out that he's not the type of contractor who starts at 7am, finishes at 7pm and thinks that all contractors should work like that.Coffee's for closersComment

 As an IT PM in my current role I 'report' into a contractor Change PM and am also on a higher rate than him. No issues here (that I am aware of) and we get on pretty well. I trust him no more or less than anyone else I would be reporting into if they were a permie and watch my back in the same way.Originally posted by Sid View PostRecently got into a new contract where my project manager is also a contractor who signs my timesheet.
