Freeman Companies recruited me as a project manager on the basis that they were currently 90-100% billable. However, there was nearly no work scheduled, and all of the past projects have been closed out. The communication with my manager was pathetic, he would not speak to me, unless we were in meetings. I would be sitting next to him and he would send me an email. In my opinion, my manager also wanted to run my department, and never wanted me to work there in the first place.
So, for the last two months of my employment, management would tell me it was my fault for the lack of work, and each day could be my last. The majority of my employment ended up being sales, including cold calling. It would be a tough sale due to the 30-40% higher bill rates than the completion. At the end, I did land a large client for the whole company. However, the project did not start soon enough to increase my billable hours.
