The guy givin the grief is from an external company as well Wierd situation.

The top brass have personally tried everything they can to make me stay - i was offered being able to turn up late on mondays, and leave early on fridays before ..... nah

If your vibe is its going to be an ongoing nightmare I'd walk asap. Not worth the aggro if you have other things in the pipeline.

ahh man ...can't believed you bailed...thought the higher powers talked you into staying..

contractors are in a good proportion of the time called in when tings are badly managed.. so bad management pretty much comes with most gigs.

always cover your back with a paper trail and think about the money.
Its all about the personal goals!

Nah Kramer, ive now realised i just wanna be back home - working away aint for me Plenty of work around that doesnt involve 6 hour trips home at weekends, and having to bunk on flea bitten beds. Ha ha ha.

Now wheres my FORTH book.....

I probably know him. I worked with a TA who was an absolute spoonbender and, unusually for me, during an exit interview, I mentioned that one of the reasons I was turning down the extension was that I couldn't work with him anymore...

.... Just found out that im the FORTH, yes FORTH person to quit this gig over the person ive been assigned as my technical architect.

Bit naff being another in a line of people who have had to deal with this - but at least i dont have to take it personally, and theres some good things lined up back home.

Shame i had to come all the way to a foreign country to find this out on my first ever contract
