It really depends on your perspective. The definitions are different and I see them as different roles within the organization.BigKahuna13 wrote:congrats.
and xj, in current usage there is no difference in meaning between consultant and contractor. At one time consultant may have referred to management consultants and the like but not anymore.
Fine. Just be aware the much of the rest of the industry uses the terms interchangeably. (We actually had a conversation yesterday about bringing on some developer consultants to relieve the full calendar we have for next year.)XtremeJibber2001 wrote:It really depends on your perspective.

To each his own.

Don't feel bad. I rate an office, but we're so tight on space I don't even get a window cube.XtremeJibber2001 wrote:Being the new guy I am .... got shafted this morning and I have to move my desk for some new douche bag ... so much for seniority.
Well none of us have window cubes, so that doesn't bother me. I just don't get why I should move my sh*t for a new guy. I don't know, I tend to get a chip on my shoulder easily. My boss could have at least asked or give me the heads up ... sh*t I only started here in June!BigKahuna13 wrote:Don't feel bad.

Is the new guy a higher level than you? Or a peer?XtremeJibber2001 wrote:Well none of us have window cubes, so that doesn't bother me. I just don't get why I should move my sh*t for a new guy.

Well ... lower level, but he's been with the company for a few years. I still think it's BS my boss didn't give me the heads-up at best. Being the new guy sucks sometimes though, so I accept that at face value.SkiDork wrote:Is the new guy a higher level than you?

When you said "new" I thought you meant new to the company just like you.XtremeJibber2001 wrote:Well ... lower level, but he's been with the company for a few years.

Well there is a slim chance it could be someone new, but how things are today, it looks like an internal hire.SkiDork wrote:When you said "new" I thought you meant new to the company just like you.XtremeJibber2001 wrote:Well ... lower level, but he's been with the company for a few years.
