I have a similar situation. I was released from a big 4 consulting firm and joined a hardware firm that wanted to start a security practice. They had several projects. I started as a contractor. The argued about every hour. I was guaranteed in writing a minimum of 50 hours per week by email. First week was orientation..no billable hours. Ah..the trick..billable hours..not just hours. The refused to pay for travel, 15 hour flights, because the client would not. They refused to pay for travel to the airport..$8..we are fighting over $8? I left after 6 weeks. Terrible, stressful, brutal and not worth the time or money. In any contract get 2 weeks paid notice. If ft get bridge money. Rem you are not a non.profit. you are only doing this to make $ or you would be doing something else.
Sorry to hear that, @raymondwmorgan
! It sucks to see companies spend more time and money nickel and diming. Definitely not worth it. Thanks for sharing.
