Parriah

How to make a contractor feel welcome #127.

Our business analyst came down to a meeting with us. We suspect it will only be a short meeting, but have booked him for a whole hour so that he has the option of not having to return immediately to the project office.

He's appreciative, but explains that it probably doesn't matter: "I have the place to myself. Everybody else has gone off to a morning tea, and I wasn't invited."

Because when you're part of the project office, nothing spoils the appetite more, it seems, than having one of those filthy contractors at the same table.
