I have now worked at two places where that is not the case...

Even with all the evidence under the sun, the bunch of people that were responsible convened a meeting and said that it was impossible that it was their fault as that would look bad! So they openly decided the real truth (bare faced lie) and it became the truth.

Time to head for the door when that happens.

I find that most clients (deffo >50%) seem clueless about what they're doing....

The good gigs are ones like yours where they leave you alone. The bad ones are where they expect miracles when its not possible.

Are you sure it isn't just you not understanding what you should be doing or your role in the project? I find it hard to believe that statement. I have been on some pretty chaotic gigs but to say a client is clueless sounds more like a layman blaming the management scenario. Hardly a professional analysis.

The good gigs are the ones that pay you on time, and lots. The rest is just fill.
