Staring into the mind of a cretin for logical answers is folly.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View Postfunny enough, I can see an alternative
would like to discuss the alternative
or even be overruled
the blank refusal to see that there might even be an alternative is very interesting
even an alternative that he can suggest and control (that's the point here)

Or were you asking how to cure the fellow? If so, I suggest a full frontal lobe labotamy.

He laid out a plan. You showed him how it was wrong, and covered your ass with emails.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostAs contractors, we meet all sorts.
Usually we just focus on the job or the profits, or the extension, and ignore the fruit - loops.
As I am bored, I thought I would think about this strange fellow I am having to deal with.
He is a control freak, in contact with the customers, has the ear of the MD.
So when a change request comes in, being a control freak, he takes charge, formulates a plan, then issues detailed instructions.
Problem is when his overall plan is shown to be badly flawed. He wont revisit, then take control. He refuses to revisit at all.
He will never , ever , rethink what he says on day 1. totally rigid and inflexible.
a real strange personality
