Gawd, you know how to hit below the belt don't you?

I doubt poor old MF will have a reply for that.

He is able to grasp the relatively simple premise that I delivered my part of the project badly this up the whole thing and I was completely unable to get anyone to listen to me or get an extension because I'm fooking hopeless

Surely that's good business? My 8 week contract is now into its second year.

Another company who doesn't yet realise you never finish the job. The fools.

Hanging.

Good night though. Last minute rush to try and get some budget to try and keep me. I found out that it is the senior architect who is blocking this, apparently I make him look bad

In about 4 weeks time is the point of no return, when the heads will roll.

Meanwhile I had a telephone interview this morning and passed it, so have a f2f next week

The OP has no staying power. He's a premature ejacucontractor.

I of course organised an exit interview with the CTO before I go to bring him up to date CUK style.

Your going to tell him to use the search facility in a NLUK manner?

A decent contractor with solutions would be renewed. Oh well.

Not in this org troll. I join the list of decent contractors and permies that left.

Curry planned, and big beers with the lads from ClientCo. Proper looking forward to it.

The big ERP project is not doing so well. I spoke with the data migration team and asked if they need anything from me before I leave. "No, we're all good, everything is fine"

So I took the liberty of doing some data analysis (with their prior agreement) to see if I could spot any problems. I did. Tonnes. And tonnes. Now running around like headless chickens.

The edict has been handed down from the top. Go live on due date (early Jan) or don't come back. Bluff or not it's put the wind up 'em.

And all contractors leave tomorrow, leaving the permies to deal with the fallout.

I really, really, really don't get how a big consultancy comes in, designs a new system and forgets to check in on the data migration. Getting really ugly.

So it's a proper lose lose, I leave with everyone knowing full well I could put on a cape and turn it round, and their project gets canned if it fails to deliver.

Looking forward to it baby

Data migration is impossible while the golaposts are moving. Once the goalposts are set in the ground
it's an opportunity.
plant the seeds and keep in touch with them. you wont need a cape, you will need a wheelbarrow
