Good Lord I hate consultants!
Monday, May 12th, 2008OK, I try not to bitch about work since my super-secret blog is not as anonymous as it used to be and a couple of co-workers do know about it. That aside, let the bitching begin:
Last week I moved cubes (not much of a move, 2 down) to get away from some noise and from a loud neocon who sat across from me. As of today there are now 2 consultants in the cube beside me. One is on the phone all day to other clients and the other is a … wait for it… loud neocon. He also wants to move the entire shop to Java. This from a guy hired as a BA. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! All I need now is for him to talk about how much he loves Jesus and Pat Robertson and he’ll have broken all the social taboos in one day.
Seriously, if you are a consultant, you should work your ass off not to offend and do a good job. Your coming in because management can’t get their shit right and you’re being paid a lot for the same work as the people around you but your input matters more and you won’t have to clean up the mess you made. So don’t be a giant flaming asshole when you do it, … k?
