[AccessD] freelancing job sites (OT Reply)

Getting way OT here, but whether or not it was true what you were saying
about the IT department, did you really believe they would keep you on
after what you had done? Even if the end users already had issues with
their IT department, what the company didn't need was someone flaming
that fire.  Typically an outside contractor is brought in to help get
caught up on projects or do projects that require skills that the IT
dept. is lacking in, which shows a willingness to ask for help.  Sounds
like you burned a bridge and lost any chances of working for that client
again.

Just my 2 cents.

Sorry Bill...I believe Susan is right. Below is all HYPOTHETICAL
goals....kind of like a "green eye shades" accounting requirement. It's
all B.S. for sure....as IT must LOOK accountable.

At one engagement, I told the users about all of the subterfuge and lies
promulgated by the IT department.
Without warning or notice, I was fired almost instantly from that gig.
