    Guys, guys, look at MF's new "bitch" avatar. He's just role playing, getting in touch with his feminine side.

    Before you know it, ... no let's not go there

    He is not permie because he could never hang around same job for more than few months

    unless you are wondering whether to bury him under the patio.

    Its knee jerk management, its available from almost anyone in a smart suit with a manager title.

    Even if they were a stakeholder and voted on the Design gate/phase.

    Just smile, send the stakeholders & sponsor a copy of the gate presentation and specifications annotated with the changes and get on with it. Then Invoice or take the pay packet.

    So you made a decision without consulting your boss and he overruled you?
