What they said, especially since you foresaw future business with them at the outset.

I agree.. same thing is happening to me as the OP, and its a good opportunity to get a few more hooks in and hopefully, repeat business.

Short contract

I took a short contract overseas with the potential it would lead to more work with the same client. The role was to provide project support and help them set up a PMO. They agreed I was "over qualified" but were willing to pay a good rate so I agreed.

When I arrived on site it was clear that the client was very unorganised and in chaos - at least with this particular customer. I carried out the tasks specified in my contract and, then started to do some others to help them get more organised. Sadly this is now being abused so I am reverting back to what was in the contract.

Lesson learnt - not a contractors role to be helpful. Better off sticking to the contract.
