Saying it's unfair that contractors got a 'pay cut' - your a business, deal with it!!

Originally posted by unixman View PostVery true. But they don't do other themselves or other contractors any favours by entertaining stunts like sudden rate cuts. Ultimately it is bad for the banks too, because contractors will just front load their rates, leading to more expense, not less. It is a poor way to do business because it just damages the trust all parties. For a short term, perceived saving. Now where have we heard that before...
Actually quite surprising that contract wording allow this.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Originally posted by jjdarg View Post+1, I started with Lloyds once on £550, took the cut on the first extension, and by the second extension, they were offering me just north of £450. No thanks. Now the roles are being advertised for £450 from the get-go, which means after 9 months, you're potentially looking at just north of £360.Comment
