No - counting has made TPD less fun today. There are some TPD2 and TPD3 threads around too.

No, Asset Management. The image projected to the rest of the country is that the people working there are the creme de la creme. Its not the case.

But he is a fairly new hire so that puts his manager in a difficult spot. Either they stick with him and live with it, or they admit a bad decision.

There are some very, very bad project managers out there, but they get away with it somehow.

yeah saw that - they will drop off soon enough.

Is that good or bad?

Austria might have some good Christmas shopping markets at that time, and maybe some skiing opportunities?

Actually, I don't feel that sorry for the PM, he is an idiot

You've got it.

who just does what he is told without question.

In which case he is a spineless arselicker, and not a project manager. Real project managers say "No".

I bet the poor sod has never had any training.

'S funny how giving someone the job title "Project Manager" makes no difference to their ability to run projects. It's people like that that give professional PMs a bad name.

And their employers are the real problem.

Tell you what: do you want the job title of "Brain Surgeon" or "Rocket Scientist". You don't need experience or training, you'll be fine.

Plan says due end of June, but there's no contingency.

If it's in by September, I'll be astounded.

Contract runs out in May, so there could well be an extension looming...

And the problem is?

austria is good for me. they are good people and vienna is a nice place. makes a change from amsterdam anyway.
