The Last Days Of A Contract

My last day at the business gig
is tomorrow.
I received a huge new project
yesterday.

Unless you plan
to extend the temporary employee’s contract,
don’t do this.
She won’t get the project done.
As she’ll be rushing to finish it
(and she won’t finish it),
she won’t have time to document the process.
She’ll leave the project in a big mess.

If the project has to be finished,
the new employee won’t know
what has been done.
He will have to start from zero.
He’ll toss what the contractor has done.

If the project doesn’t have to be finished,
it won’t be.
The contractor will have rushed around
for no reason.
She could spend that time
transitioning and wrapping up
other projects.

No project manager
wants to start a project
and not finish it.

No project manager
wants to finish a project
another manager has started.

Assign a project manager
who might be there
for the duration.
