    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

    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.

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

    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
