    It's disturbing to note that someone with the title of 'development manager' doesn't understand the difference between having a consultant from an external supplier on your team and having an employee of your organisation on your team.

    I expect the jelous poverty stricken permies are smirking at one-another. What an awful business this is.

    More likely the latter as the former could cause serious ructions!

    That email has in effect tarnished his name.

    Had the software manager said

    We are no longer using the services of company x

    noone would have had a problem

    and that in effect is what has happened.

    also it useful to know that the company is no longer dealing with contractor n/company x as if you had any work outstanding you would know you had an issue...

    Exactly! I suggested that he have a word with the HaRpies before he does anything like that again.

    All

    Unfortunately we have had to make the decision to let <contractor N> go.

    Without going into the details (posting on CUK), this decision was based on his performance to date.

    Regards

    XXX XXX, Development Manager
