Basically when you start working for a new client and it is apparent that he/she doesn't really know what they want or how to run projects or manage consulants. So you nicely try and steer them along and all you get is "STFU and do what I say, I know it might not be standard, but this is how we do things here at XYX Inc."
Then you get to that point in the project when someone (usually your contacts boss) looks over their shoulder and basically declares what the F!?! What are you doing? This isn't standard and it makes no sense.
And they they blame the consultant for doing things in an ass backwards way.
It makes me really question my career choice sometimes. You know the problem, you see it coming, yet there seems to be no way to avoid it.
