    At PreviousPreviousClientCo I nearly got sacked for being helpful.

    They rolled out a timesheet / planning system that was brain damaged.

    We were given an email address to use for feedback - stupid, stupid, stupid me. How could I have been so foolish and not spotted the honeytrap?

    I responded to it.

    28 times.

    With detailed bug reports (including "how to reproduce consistently" and "suggested causes"); workarounds; suggestions for enhancements; suggestions for the project's Lessons Learned Log.

    I was carpeted by a senior manager for being negative and told the implementation team were too busy to get involved with that kind of detail.

    It was made quite clear if I was caught saying anything else about this implementation I would be dismissed.

    Subsequently there was the internal press release saying the was a complete success. It was actually a complete shambles.
    companies often say they want contractors that care. then when they do they kick the tu*ip out of them.

            I must admit to being very fond of their output (except for that that bloody awful Wotnot Fly, the ginger flavoured one).

                      Bearing in mind I don't have a telly, what is Torchwood and why has it put you off Cardiff?
                      dont watch Torchwood - go to cardiff first!

                      I think Diver/Zeity could tell you about Cardiff better than me.,..
