    Click MTT's link above. I didn't.

    Not that I would have needed to - Wodewick was so impressively macho in his dismissal I assumed he had been following earlier related threads like some sort of internet Heat-reading-soap-obssessive equivalent, so would have bowed to his superior wasting of time anyway.

    Poor fecker.

    When I once arrived on the first day of a contract, the bloke I was replacing handed over the work to me - then I found out he hadn't been told he was terminated until the evening before.

    Not only that, he was being screwed by his consultancy, who were taking 75% commission on what the clientco was paying them.

    A born victim some might say, but a poor fecker just the same.

    Constructive crisis talks with PM ongoing

    Update 2.

    The guy in question has been looking increasingly agitated over the last week or two.
    He had a couple of guys working with him, but apparently they couldn't take it much longer, so they've gone back to offshore for now. Not perturbed, he confidently declared he could do it all himself anyway, so has changed his email signature to read "Lead Requirements Consultant, BA, Developer, Tester, Assurance".
    Client still hasn't paid his agency, but he's putting a brave face on it, acting like the agency have paid his invoices (not sure how true this is).

    Yesterday the PM gave him a bit of a talking to, it looked like he was out the door at 9:00am this morning, but he's been in with the PM most of the day begging to stay.
    I see what you did there. Clever, that.

    Think I've come across this one. Ask permie to run his own business. Simple.

    No update on this, but one of the toilets near reception has been permanently out of order for weeks.

    I'd be more frightened of him sitting on me. He's a fatty fat fat fat little man. I think he and Threaded must be twins. Threaded got the brains of course.

    What bothers me most with this is the fact the client told the agent to stop paying them, thats bad to think they would do that!
