[quote=Anonymous]Yes, and BEWARE ! For apx 6 months I didn’t have enough to do because not enough direction from my government customer. So I researched a lot and made work, all well documented, in anticipation of starting a project we discussed. I was billing the customer for 40 hours/week as directed by both my manager and project lead because they didn’t assign me to other work even though I asked. I realized too late they were using this customer as a gravy train thinking they could get away with it… but once the government customer realized what was going on they were furious. Both the customer snd my management blamed ME and fired me, even though I had documented proof that I was working on stuff related to the group goals and future work!

Basically, they had to cover their butts so used me as the scapegoat (probably timecard fraud by my employer for allowing me to bill without government direction, but my manager signed off on it). I should’ve known this would happen so my bad for staying there. [/quote]
