Here's some free advice... If you're a consultant, and you've gotten the feeling that the people you are working for might think you're a little overpaid, don't send an email summarizing all of days you've worked over the course of a year (80!) and suggest that you need more time for the next year.
Good grief... A full-time job is only 250 days. How could our consultant have possibly worked 80????? That's nearly 1/3 time. The consultant has another full-time job and other consulting gigs. I am one of the leaders of the project and I probably didn't even work 80 days on that project.
80. Wow. Not sure how.
[Edited to add: Especially, don't tell someone that you were given 80 days of pay for the work you did when the person you are telling will soon be doing all of the work you did plus more and getting paid for only 10 days worth of time. I'm just saying.]
[Edited to add, again, I think perhaps it was 80 days over 2 years, which is a bit better, but still a lot. (Also don't write a confusing email that causes people to think you worked 80 days in 1 year when it was really two years!) I looked and found that I worked 60 days on that particular project last year.]
