It just depends. Some shoot the messenger who bears bad news, others
shoot the messenger because he is rented, and no longer needed.
All I know, is that I will be fired. For why? I don't care. I will
do the best I can to get the job done and smooth out the path for the next
job.
I work to satisfy my client's customers. If they do not want to
satisfy their customers, then I have no business being in that kind of
shlock outfit. Yes, there may be time and material constraints; we will
do our best to discuss those rationally, and work within them where
possible. But I refuse to help you screw your customer; because if you do,
you will not be around to re-hire me or give me a good reference.
That said... I often start out such discussions with something like
"... I just don't seem to understand something here... would you mind
explaining to me..." and other gentle verbalism the make sure they don't
have a good reason, as well as try to gently turn the light on in their
heads. But if they are going to screw their customers... um... what is to
prevent them from turning around and trying to screw me?
Just my point of view... don't run in to them often...
