Desperately need advice

[bennyboy]

Ben,
Why put yourself through the grief, you have made your mind up, email the agent saying no thanks and forget about it.
Do you think they would phone to say you haven't got the job ? Nah, they would scratch you from the list and ignore your calls.
Sounds like he has made it personal (I can understand it may be frustrating for him to be close and then miss out), once that has happened, you owe him nothing.

You have a point there Luke. Life is going to be easier for me if I send him an email and politely turn him down.

It's just that people like him that will go to the extent of bulling and threatening new contractors just to make a placement should be stood up to. I'd like to show him that the way he treats people can have consiquenses and if he/his company loses the client (one of the biggest lawfirms in London) because a small time, newb contractor made a point of standing up to his dirty tactics... well point made and lesson learnt I would say.

What does everyone else think? Let sleeping dogs lie or kick him in the balls for being a dirty bastard?

Well that's the end of that then. The tosser called me all friendly like to ask if I've made up my mind. I told him the answer is still no. He started up his threats again and I almost lost it at him. Getting myself under control I let him know that I didn't appreciate his threats and bullying tactics and that if his client knew how he was placing his candidates he would lose his client in a second. The pimps intellectual and eloquent response was "whatever I've struck you off my list!" Mine was... ... 'Click'

What a knob!

Good man! Pimp sounds a bit of a cock. In fact, why did I bother to write that at all, it's par for the course!

Next time, try telling said pimp that you'll be coming over to the office to discuss the black-listing face to face...

Thanks for the advice Mordac and everyone else who has contributed. Yes my agency is in that list and so are the names of several agencies he mentioned I would be blacklisted from.

In a woefull display of ignorance I have to ask...
What/Who is S3?

Thanks muchly
Ben

How can I get blacklisted by S3?

[bennyboy]

Oh how I would love to discuss the black-list face to face.

Expat I could give you the tossers name. He seems to be most obliging when it comes to including people on the black-list.

He seems to be most obliging when it comes to including people on the black-list.

Name and shame then

[ratewhore]

Name and shame then

Isn't it shameful enough working for S3?
