    I always like to use my light bulb method on this one

    So if a light buld pops you replace it with another light bulb

    If that second light bulb pops (within an unacceptable timeframe) you then probably replace it with a third light bulb.

    if the third light bulb pops (within an unaccpetbale timeframe) then you go check your fuses and wiring other wise you will just continue to waste money on light bulbs when they are not the problem.

    Issue is it requires the hiring company to actually admit they are the problem...

    I once quit a contract after a month. I felt bad about it until the agent admitted that the previous guy had done the same. And the guy before that. And the one before that. And the 2 before him.

    Somehow the client wasn't getting the source of the turnover problem even after 6 of us in a row had quit.
