So what is the point of a 3, 6 or 12 month contracts?
Particularly when they want to pay less as it's a long term contract?

The length of the contract is part of my calculations for rate.

Nothing like a bit of professionalism. And this isn't.

I would imagine their contractors will repay them in kind and give notice as soon as they get better contracts. Obviously that would be totally unprofessional.

Barclays are well known for being worst gigs in the city.

Though I still think it is unfortunate - but if they get away with it who can blame them?
