One outcome is that they will listen next time. Or the machiavelis might say I should have said something sooner.
There is some shocking code in this place, and a huge disconnect between the senior management and the coders, so that they will believe whatever bulltulip they are fed. As a contractor, you get badmouthed you get sent down the road, period.
Sometimes it's just better to STFU and go with it, and then invoice. It's not like I have a hell of a lot of choice atm.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment
