True story, I was once told that I did as much work as the rest of my team did put together....I immediately apologized and vowed to do better. It took a moment before he got it but then he laughed himself silly.
LOL!!
I know EXACTLY what you mean.
My last contract they had bugs that crashed the system at least 10 times a day- for the last ten years. I fixed several of them... and then they hired new management and wanted to get rid of me to hire 2 people for the same price.
I wished them luck. Also told them the NEXT time they called me to come back (for the third time) I would probably not be available (at least at the same price)
