Lies, Damn Lies and 'Consultants'.

by Foxwriter @ 2008-08-01 - 14:04:06

Everyone is conspiring to annoy me today.

Well, I will admit there is 'someone' who has cheered me up during today but let her remain incognito.

But as for work. When you appoint someone to do a job and they are a so-called 'professional' you do not expect to have to treat them like (a) a clueless schoolboy (b) a fly-by-night salesman or (c) Bob the Bent Builder.

These smart suited swine are all very well and fine at boasting about their qualifications, experience, integrity and high ethical standards but, having paid far too much money to these charalatans, these 'double glazing salesmen in wigs' as I have heard them called by other clients, I now find their 'top man' has been lying through his teeth for weeks.

"What do you mean, he no longer works for you? Is that the sum total of the service you provide?"

All the other 'experts' involved in this shambles are diving for cover as fast as their 'professional indemnity cover' encourages them, leaving me, silly sod that I am, to carry the can.

Why, oh why do I do it?

Money! :(

you start to wonder where competence went, don't you?
it seems to have been buried beneath a layer of smart suits, black gadgets and hair gel.

There is usually a reason that the word 'consultants' starts with 'con' ...

You are up late as well? I can't sleep.

And, thanks for the new slant on consultants ;)

I must remember your comment next time the ba****ds send me a bill!

Yes. If they didn't get paid so much and swan around in £40,000 cars it wouldn't be so bad but then it sounds like I am jealous.

Which I am!

Thanks for calling by.
