Re: Newbie contractor question re: Scope of Agreement or Letter of Intent?

Sara-Sue,

I doubt you'll ever get that document out of such a boss.  I had bosses 
like him in the past and my procedure was, after each new set of 
instructions, I would send an e-mail outlining the instructions just 
given. Where these instructions contradicted previous ones, or changed 
priorities would be pointed out. I would ask for confirmation that my 
understanding of the instructions and priorities was correct and that this 
was really his intent.

Needless to say, I never received confirmation nor correction, but they 
were a useful record when it came to those CYA moments.
