I'm a self-employed contracted specialist. I feel like the success of the project I've been hired to consult on is jeopardized by the IT director. Classic example - he took time off during a critical junction to deal with his car trouble, which prevented me from accomplishing anything (he has to enter the password). None of this would bother me if he didn't ALSO try to use me as his scapegoat for missing his deadline by 10 min., and harangue me verbally. I drove SEVEN hours to put out a fire with only 10 mins. notice, and now I get treated like dirt.

Numerous other problems are the result of their hiring me as a telecommuter, and there has been NO serious effort to actually create the ability to do this job remotely - all the IT department's job. He says that my Comcast digital signal is flat out not-compatible with his company's network. Sure. Even if were true, that could be fixed.

After all this, just tell me - complain to the CFO, or suck it up?

I begged off of telling the CFO what I thought of his IT director, and instead am addressing the obstacles he (Dir of IT) creates with creative end-runs. So far, it is working, and my billing is up.
