    Just lost a contract.

    I had the go ahead and was starting to plan for implementation.

    Then the phone call.

    A c~~~ on the staff had objected. No reason other than she ‘just didn’t think it was right’.

    Real reason: I was coming in as an outside contractor to do a job that she didn’t have the qualifications to do. She hated that, so she lobbied fellow c~~~s in management.

    Result: Cancel.

    From the bright side, better to find something where you can be valued now, than later, leaving the snakepit to snakes.

    The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny

    I’ve been there. Just keep your cool and be 1000% professional about it, and next time they have the same issue they will come back to you long after she has been fired.

    This is why women should never EVER be in a position of authority They don’t have:

    the same level of competent decision making ability,
    the same level of intelligence
    the same level of emotional stability
    the same level of physical ability

    AND they have NO ability to accept responsibility for their actions.

    I agree with Awakened–wait for her to f~~~ it up–you can come into fix it BUT now the price is HIGHER!

    Stealth and Awakened have the right perspective on this.

    The implementation will fail under her management and the company will be forced to turn to you. This time you’ll be able to charge them more because you have to clear away her mess before tackling the job.

    I’ve seen it happen in the past and I’ve profited from it.

    Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

    I once had a c~~~ try to jack me in my dealings, and it blew up in her face. They called me in a year later to identify the problems and implement a proper solution.

    Always take the high road.

    It’s a nice idea. Unfortunately, what will happen in reality is that she will indeed f~~~ it all up, but the c~~~s will all pull together to hide the truth.

    The hamster wheel will spin a little faster, and it will all go down the memory hole.

    A c~~~ on the staff had objected. No reason other than she ‘just didn’t think it was right’.

    Best thing that could have happened. Imagine working in that environment. If they call back, because the queens f~~~ed everything up, triple your original bid.
