10 weeks of pain

[RSoles]

Had something simular once - where the training was also the UAT ?

Been there done that; AND it was the requirements capture all rolled up into one. Boy how the developers got away with that I'd love to know.....

I sympathise CJ. Remember to keep your cool, keep the end users on side, and fall out of work into the pub every night for at least 3 on the way home.

Chin up. Keep saying "Invoice, I get to invoice for this...." under your breath.

And refain from chinning the manager that dumped you in the tulipe.

That's about it, advice wise.

Good luck.

Thanks SY01 - I may have to print that off and pin it to the inside of my suitcase...

And ta to you too, Zip...

have just begun....

I'm about to train for a system that hasn't completed testing, to people who will have too much work to do once it goes live (I suspect their managers thought that FTE planning meant 'Force Through Everything' )

Oh joy.

My only glimmer of consolation(??)* is that I had a bit of a heart to heart/shoulder to cry on with the Vendor Manager who was just off to a management meeting to 'consider their position...'

So it might end up being 2 weeks of pain...

*My only other glimmer is 'think of the money', which is more profitable but much, much more stressful...
