Here is an email that I sent offlist to the topic originator. I did not realize that it did not make it back to the list... I have had a couple of experiences like this, and both have evolved the same way.
Based on the very limited knowledge I have on your situation, it is quite evident that they do not respect you. They do not respect your development skill, and they do not respect the conditions that were apparently agreed to when you were hired. We could go further... They do not respect the client/project as evidenced by the fact that the key players are not on the job. The manager and the bug hunter are AWOL. Here is a hint... Telling them they are a bunch of idiots is not going to solve the problem. So, if you want to confront the situation, turn the tables a little bit and ask them point blank what you have done to deserve such a low level of respect. This puts the burden of responsibility back on them. Write it out. Specifically ask what happened to this agreement, and that agreement, and the work process that included bug-checking, etc. Make it a team approach. Illustrate the fact that the current project is suffering from the lack of teamwork. Don't make it a "me vs. the system" battle or you will lose. Make it clear that YOUR objective and the company objective are one and the same. If you don't ASK for this information, you are not going to get it. If you don't ASK for respect, you are not going to get it. If you don't DEMAND change, it ain't gonna happen. This all adds up to my previous statement that people get treated the way they ALLOW themselves to be treated. Don't be mad at them. Be mad at yourself for allowing them to treat you the way they have. Good Luck. _______________________________________ Tim Claremont Applications Specialist Independent Living For Seniors Rochester, New York 585.922.2882 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________ ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
