Sadly I have met plenty of Indian imports who do feel that they are better than the 'program' director and that they should be in that chair. The attitude fay to day is never to deliver the task for that day but to engage in petty politics and back biting.

French civil servants have that modus operandi too

Pictures, or it didn't happen.....

I'm sorry, but we can't have this kind of thing in the professional forums. Moved...

Update

We have had meeting and I have agreed that I will waive day rate for yesterday.

To all the haters, I am new to contract market and I guess I just had higher hopes of people's humanity but hey ho. In couple of years I will return to permanent world and probably be program director telling them what to do in 2-3 years

We don't hate you sweetheart - we're laughing at you.

I think the PC rule applies here so you're OK.

On reflection, the OP could aim for Contractor Parking Arrangements Program [sic] Director to get a real handle on engaging idiot contractors.

I'd like to proffer some suggestions from among the collective, but this is nominally a professional subforum.

Make sure you recruit low calibre idiots, so you can spend your time bollocking them for trying to bill for days absent. They might be able to train you up to reach that skill level as a stretch goal.

I don’t think it will be that far in the future.

But client manager is saying he will not pay for today even though I have been working all morning as best I can without VPN.

I don't think you really had the option to agree to waive the daily rate TBH but dress it up as you will.

Next time call them first thing to advise you won't be in and get it sorted before you start working.

With some gigs there is a level of documentation that needs to be read. You're not going to land in a new client and immediately understand all the processes that they follow, that you need to understand to get the job done.
