There are many types of relationships in the business world. Some more permanent than others. Over the years, I have found the relationships that I develop with my preferred vendors have seen me through thick and thin.
Unfortunately, those relationships can be threatened by the introduction of a new player in town. The Consultant.
Consultants are people that are paid by the company to tell us how to do things. Yes, that’s right, we pay them to tell us what to do. That means the consultant generally comes already equipped with a healthy ego and a sense of entitlement.
They invade the work place like ants at a picnic. Sticking their noses everywhere, playing merry-hob with calendars and demanding resources like they were executives.
Here is a warning to my fly-by-night consultants. MESS NOT WITH MY VENDOR RELATIONSHIP, LEST YE FEEL THE WRATH OF THE ASSISTANT!
You, the consultant, are here for only a short time. Your demands are petty and short-lived. I have to live with the mess you leave behind.
I know where your monies are sent. I know the admins at your headquarters. I am not afraid to make your collective lives miserable!
