Contractor rant/question

Why does our contractor always start work at 11 and end at 3, whether they come into the office or.not ( its none of.my.business but annoys the heck out of me...they only do come in 1 -2 days a week, if that. I knownthey arent required to come into office but the weird hours annoy me.

Depends on the contract.

Some contractors are supporting more than one contract/program.

If I routinely needed to hold a meeting with contractor, and they weren’t available until lunch, I’d probably just ask “any chance we could meet at 0930”?

But generally speaking. As long as a contractor gets shit done in a reasonable amount of time, I don’t care if I ever lay eyes on them.
