Tell 'em what you want.

Tell 'em you can get what you want elsewhere.

Tell 'em you'll walk if you don't get what you want.

And be prepared to walk if you don't get it.

The funny thing was that when we were discussing the margin they are making (11% according to them) he started going on about how they werent getting paid x pounds per day...which funnily enough was the amount HR had advised me they were paying.

So...who to believe? :rollin

Re: .

I'm with Toby on this, especially his final point. The knowledge that you're the best choice for the job (if you're the incumbent and they want to extend, you generally will be) and the balls not to care if you aren't are a powerful combination.

Re: .

You could easily have said 35% and no-one here would have known whether or not you were being truthful or not.

25% ??

I don't think so.:rollin but good luck with your life anyway. You give us all a chuckle from time to time.

I started at 10 and went up from there :rollin

Bypassed my oh so helpful agent and spoke directly with my manager. Upshot is...agents margin has decreased while my profit has increased

Still...the agents are still making far too much off my back.
