C'mon, you can take it. I only jibe in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Cover your arse and stitch up the PM.

Howard you know? You only just joined.

Sorry, the "been here before" bit was about overseas developers.

Say you won't tolerate it and storm off. Then come back two days later and pretend it never happened.

The development team are constantly failing to deliver. The project manager is failing to sort it out and has been since I started.

As the BA I have no faith in them whatsoever now, this morning was the final straw. The developers have raised an issue with inherited code (code that they inherited back in August and have consistently failed to get working). They say it needs a full rewrite. This the day before code freeze

I just feel like I tell the business things are going to be ok, things will pick up, we are working hard to resolve these issues, and get them back on side and then we fail. Again. It's not like we know well in advance either. These things always come out at the last minute.

Grateful for being able to invoice, but really not enjoying this role any more.

Need them to get a decent PM in who can get the development team firing on all cylinders, but while he seems to have used all his 9 lives he still remains.

The most recent revelation I asked him to confirm in an email. Chased him all morning for this email, yet in the end now BOTH his laptops are not working so cannot send emails. Yet his skype status is logged in

I post this expecting the usual flaming, but nothing more, ok? At least this is on topic.

Thanks for that, that's really interesting...

Yeah, but you always come back don't you. You always come back.

In a way that's true. I cope, cope, cope, cope, snap. I need to find a level. This contract is doing my nut in. I know that when I lose interest the best thing to do is leave. I have lost interest.

Programme manager is also on leave.

get a hold of yourself, man
you need the bread, don't you?
if the PM's away, then thats the problem.
ring him up, tell him to get back in, you don't have to carry him
it's tough on the bench for many
don'tyou
kill the negatives
chin up

I always get the impression that you can't cope with stress very well, and look for reasons to leave when times get hard.

The PM's got to sort it out. Leave it to him. Do your job and do it well. If other people are causing issues to your role, note them, highlight them but most of all try your best to resolve them. Then invoice.

If you really don't like it, terminate the contract. Life's too short.
