Nearly There II

[scooterscot]

I don't like any contract or job I've done.

Likewise. I reckon I've only walked away from a couple of six or thereabouts where I felt that was a job well done, and have had repeat business from those clients. Try to aim for 1 in 3 these days.

The jobs that never go well are the ones the call me when the client project is at the 11th hour and it's we're paying you @£$£ loads can't you just wave a magic wand? When it reality it's someone coming in and telling them something they already knew but just din't want to hear.

The good jobs are the ones are where the client is stumped. It's not always a solution sometimes it's the requirement is just identifying the problem, but they're alway satisfying.

No I suppose not, I plan to be a manager some day, think I'm qualified?

So what jolly categories do you hold the other elven?

I'm sure you will do as good a job as others in management positions they've sought out.

That's not what you asked

I don't believe you walk away from 11 out of 12 jobs feeling, I've done a good job there they'll be calling me back for some more!

What percentage of jobs do you leave feeling this dissatisfaction? And do you consider it a failure or just another means to an end?

A question for all of us

What irritates me the most is that I that I turned down 2 other opportunities for this tulipe. Second time at this client. Decided to come back as the first time was so bad I thought there was something wrong with me. Turns out I thought wrong. They are all ******* useless.

Last day tomorrow.

Having to work late tonight to finish work I couldn't be bothered doing last week.

Have absolute no motivation to do it even though I can't realistically leave till its finished

Do it for your own piece of mind.
In the midst of all the crap you're dealing with, know that you kept your standards.
Don't forget to invoice. The arrival of monies will be sweet closure.

Eventually you realise that's true of all clientco's. Some just have bigger disasters than others.....

Eventually? Is 12 not enough?

This one does take the biscuit, it's hard to think of anything they've managed to do right (except for hiring me of course)
