The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

If you're buying wine and ask the shop monkey for a recommendation,chances are he hasn't got a clue either and will just recommend something he's tried or is on special offer. At least that's what I used to do when I worked in one.
EssY; if adding contingency days to an estimated timescale comes as a surprise to people then those people really need to speak to a good project manager; that applies whether you're in computing or any other business. That's what I mean by time management. Actually billing for days where no work is carried out is very wrong - it's always better to deliver slightly early as it pleases the client and increases the chances of repeat business. Don't confuse what I do with what major consultancies do to investment banks. :)
