This is kind of like it is.... Day 1 Boss sends you to company A... very top end of town. You are high paid, discreet consultant... [ well, Boss's company is high paid, maybe not you ;-( ] You discover A has Unbelievably World's Worst Practice in Widgets. You have nothing to do with Company A's widgets... you are there for another reason. You go pale, then tell them, politely, a la Duty of Care as their highly paid consultant. A's Widget Boss says very primly, "We are fine thank you." [Translation: Piss off!}
You go to toilet, vomit, laugh hysterically.... I mean like, this is serious stuff. You tell Boss. Boss says, I know, being telling them for ages. They don't think it's important. Much rolling of eyes. Day 2 Boss sends you to Company B... also national company, if not quite top end of town Quite by chance, Managing Dir company B is also personal friend. Managing Dir company B is also good christian colleague, you have some church connections too. [SA is very incestuous like this for all you vics and nsw's] You notice by chance while working at Company B that they will probably use Company A on large multimillion dollar project. You *are* directly hired to consider Company B's widgets, among other things, but have nothing to do whatsoever with the aforesaid project. You don't know if A's widgets will affect B's widgets. Given you and Boss have been nagging Company A, they might think of you as a source of a leak.... A needs you, but has lots of clout... they could cause you lots of grief [translate: lose your job, Boss lose the company] B probably needs A, can't just go else-where. So....
