How to deal with discrimination as a contractor

[BrilloPad]

No I agree but as a contractor tulip happens. If you kick off then it'll likely mean the end of the gig. Maybe a bit unfair but thats life.

Maybe I could provide a hit man service as a plan B?

Certainly you cannot do anything official.

Since every situation of discrimination and tulip behaviour isn't exactly the same it doesn't mean your contract will end.

If you look at the 2 examples I posted earlier, in one the offender was removed, while in the other I decided to remove myself. In fact in that case removing myself was a good idea because the company went bust 5 months later...

That is very good news. Sadly it is the exception.

The company that went bust 5 months later - were you replaced by suity?

FTFY

Not at all. I will never be a 1k day person

Suity would have been too competent for them as he speaks and understands English, and tries to get things done.

They actually hired someone who couldn't speak reasonable English to work in English customer support. I've worked with a lot of foreign nationals including those with "bad" English and that was the only company that did that.

£1000 a day? I don't get that. Discrimination!

[SussexSeagull]

Agreed. PC sees that as more money than him so should be more thankful. What he forgets is he is worth his rate, she is worth hers. The amount of money should not have a bearing on how badly you are treated. Its how much it costs for those skills. If you go down that route you could argue a 1k a day person should be treated with more respect than a 300 quid a day grunt.

90% of the population would be financially happy to be a £300 a day 'grunt'.

Life is not all about money.

99% I reckon.
