Reply to: Backstabbing Permie Staff: Revenge or keep it professional

NEWS UPDATE:

there's just too many backstabbers, wannabe chiefs and not enough Indians.

Literally or figuratively?

[eek]

The clue is in "train your replacement". Unless you need the money leaving them with no trained replacement would serve them right.

(possibly relevant para snipped, but ..)

Why do you have to deal with Hippo's work?

Just tell the clientco rep you won't have any involvement with it (as a condition for extending for even a month).

If I don't do Hippo's work he will cry like a baby and tell our boss.

As all contractors know, if you don't do what you're told, then be prepared for the consequences of one's actions, either no contract renewal or being fired ASAP.

13 day remaining and I'm still pondering whether to leave or work the extra one month to train my replacement.

In fact, Hippo's work is rubbish and I have to identify and correct his mistakes. ...

I'm not sure if I want to continue working at this place for another month, there's just too many backstabbers, wannabe chiefs and not enough Indians.

<stuff I didn't bother to read>
What would you do in my situation?

Hmmm.. Deep thinking that one friend...

May you just put your head below the yard arm and carry on with FULL profession? Possibly all will then be loving you...

[norrahe]

Leave.

If you are happy to walk then walk. Tell the guy that you feel your position has been undermined and you can no longer be effective it would therefore be better for all concerned if you leave now. Obviously tell him that should another project with a different team come up then you would be more than happy to return.

He's not your "Boss".

If you haven't worked that out by now then you'd better go perm

NEWS UPDATE:

My boss has decided to extend my contract for another month.

I'm not sure if I want to continue working at this place for another month, there's just too many backstabbers, wannabe chiefs and not enough Indians.

If I stay, I'm a lamed duck, I won't be given new projects and just be transferring my business and technical knowledge to another permie (Not Mr Hippo). My boss did mentioned that he's trying to move me onto another project, but I'm not sure if he's just waving a bone at me to stop me from leaving so soon.

Money has never been the issue, I've never held a permie job in my whole life and have contracted about 15 years. I was tempted by the permie role that was offered to me because I felt I wanted to do more at work strategically, climb the corporate ladder and get a small mortgage too.

Now I feel £20k cash in the bank is a far better proposition than a permie job. Contracting shall remain my profession.

Yes my boss is a great listener to hearsay and he really believes all the poo coming from HIPPO's mouth is the golden source to how business works... In fact, Hippo's work is rubbish and I have to identify and correct his mistakes. I think my reluctance to continue fixing Hippo's work did contribute towards my demised and no lengthy renewal of my contract at the company.

Finally, REVENGE is going to be difficult too as I don't like burning bridges. Yes... These institutions do have a secret database used to vet prospective employees and contractors, and I can't risk getting blacklisted.

Nevertheless, the Escort cards and Hippo's moblile number does sound like a doable task.

What would you do in my situation?...

He's not your "Boss".

If you haven't worked that out by now then you're not cut out to be a contractor.

Of course if you know his home address (or follow him home or put a tracker on his car - TK102 £35 on ebay) you can have tons of fun......

They look interesting. What's the battery life like?
