>Get 6-month contract, billed per hour, 8 hour workdays from Monday to Friday.
>Tasked with a specific project and iterating based on what the stakeholders tell me, having almost full control of its pace.
>Chances the contract will be extended are low, in fact, one manager told my stakeholder to "remember that Anon will finish working with us by end of 2025" so they use me properly.
So, considering this situation, isn't it in my interest to delay the completion of the project as much as possible so it's close to the contract's end date? If I work hard and finish it earlier there is a possibility the client would run out of justifications to pay me and just let me go, making me lose money.
I also get ad hoc requests outside of the project and I play dumb so I don't become the "everything man", as I understand these request are not the reason why I was offered a contract and they are just alleviating others workload "since I'm there". Am I playing the game well?
