    And his shortcomings have resulted in more work being put your way. Why aren't you grateful?
    Because he has to re-write it and is being financially penalised?

    going in next week - me thinks, for a warning?

    was forced into taking unauthorised absence from the permi job, to cover the work left by the 2nd contractor on the contracting by night job....now things are getting a tough - thinking i should ideally use one over the other. i have also started job hunting to try and land a decent contract...

    help!!
    Are you a FOB in the UK? You sound it.

    These sockpuppets really are becoming extremely tiresome. People really need to grow up and get a life.

    Come on, which of you children created "SajStars"?

    I think the motivation is the salary and benefits they provide.

    Sounds like the usual India Rope trick, but getting your man in there who
    only understands that code means they can't get rid of him!! These types
    of contract is what all indian boys and girls dream of, because it guarantees
    unlimited supply of rupees.

    Well its one of the boyz of india, who screwed this <contract> project. His code was incomplete and full of bugs, on top of that he wrote the code in such a way no one on Earth would understand.

    By that i mean that:
    1. he used global modules and variables, when he should have used class.
    2. mix of business and form logic at form level
    3. multitude number of calls to fillData to refresh the same gridview.
    4. code written to "fix a problem" rather than written in a clean and manageable manor.

    when i challenged him about point 1 during the development - he told me it was nothing to do with me and i was 'blocking' him from completing. now as it stands the client needs more of my time to rewrite the development he was supposed to complete

    no problem i said, however then we started talking about budget constraints and things, so whilst it is a contract for work in the evening - its going to be a delayed payment.

    If they think you're playing them for fools, they'll use the fact that "you phoned at 9.06am but the contract clearly states you must inform about absence due to sickness before 9am" to mark it as unauthorised.
