    I just got an email request from an internal client to reduce the scope of a project. I feel like a deer in headlights. My world view has been shaken. How can I cope with this traumatic situation?

    You forgot the joke icon, but pretty funny nonetheless! :laugh: :thumbsup:

    It's an OO world.

    public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
    {
    public void DoWork()
    {
    throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
    }

      I suppose I'm the only one that read that as "reduce the amount of payment we'll be making"?

        Internal client, so payment isn't involved. I work in an IT Department of a large-ish company, so my paycheck is the same whether any given project takes 6 weeks or 6 months.

          There's also the "we're not going to need the part you were going to write, goodbye" scenario.

                      That's not good. It could mean that the company is being "streamlined", to make it more attractive to investors. Make sure your CV is up to date.
