I don't do a whole hell of consultant work but I do on occasion. Complacency like this gets me all fired up though.
So the gist I am reading here is: Yeah its OK for companies to BURN you. You should go sulk in a corner, reflect on how it went bad and move on. Try not to let it happen again. No company liability. So its ok for companies to step all over consultants with no fear of repercussions. Nothing you can do about it and move on. Sounds pretty damn unfair to me. On the other hand: As a company owner, I can go ahead and screw consultants anytime I see fit. Without fear. Heck I'll just slap liable suit on anyone who dares disagree with what I do. The problem with the theory here is I am assuming all consultants are good and all companies are bad, WHICH IS NOT the case. So.. There needs to be a FAIR way to make BOTH parties accountable for their actions. Something this country can't seem to do. Right now these companies that burn consultants can get away with it all day long. Misrepresentation on your skill set or not doing what is promised as a consultant is also just as bad. Technically you are burning the company. We can complain when we are burned, or have the attitude that you need to "learn your lesson and move on". The 6 million dollar question is. How do we make it right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:3600 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11
