    There's one on every site. They are afraid that you will make it obvious they are out of their depth in their current role so seek to score points off you first. I just laugh at them. Pennyless cretins.

    You've had more than enough.

    I will add that it's not the first time he's tried to show up a contractor and come off worst.

    I also love it when said permie is chastised by several PMs for being a sarcastic, vindictive little ****.

    Anybody else got some love to share?

    Well done MM. Normally permie managers are inclined to side with their permie underlings, unless it becomes completely obvious the latter are in the wrong.

    But this creep will really be gunning for you now, and in my experience what people like that lack in competence they make up for in malevolent craftiness.
