I have never worked on a significant project anywhere, be it public sector, corporate, or start-up that was not already a mess. Save one, and I would describe that as a shock. | |

When you are face to face with them, they realize you are 1) taking them seriously, so they are more likely to take you seriously, 2) trying to determine what you want and why, and 3) probably going to explain why or why not this is a good idea. 4) a short in-person conversation can accomplish WAY more than a gaggle of emails. | |

I bet they drive their cars with the low oil light flashing and on bald tyres. When you're that badly paid, maybe looking for a better job is the best strategy. | |
