MODIS International - UK Contact details?

[ladymuck]

Modis, there's a blast from the past.

My very first gig was through them in 2005. £150 a day, I thought I was rich!

I still have the phone number of the agent who managed my contract. Unlikely its still operational...

Being a bit of a saddo, I have a file that lists every client, contract dates, agency and agent details. I send it out when pimps ask for a reference.

Back in 2000 I was working through Modis at Goldmine Sachs. I was 2nd person in on the "40 hour interview".

My agent said some weird stuff. My BS metre was ticking - I could not work out why.

So I spoke to HR and asked what rate they were paying Modis and to compare against what I was getting.

Modis were taking 27% as opposed to the 12% they should be taking.

After major arguments(GS threatening to sack Modis globally) around 40 contractors(including myself) got a 15% pay rise.

And not one ever thanked me....

This is true. But I don't have too many stories to tell about them.

Except for that support bloke who had so much stuff on his desk the cleaners made him remove it all after the mouse infestation.

And there was that dodgy support bloke recommending DTA.....

You joined a scheme because a first tier support bod suggested it

That was part of it. However he was not the only one. All contractors were doing it. It had been going 6 years since HMRC found out about it - they seemed quite happy.

Still at least I knew what I was signing up to. Unlike many folks with loans.....

No, it's metre. He's the contracting equivalent of Gillian McKeith. He carries it to interviews in a Tupperware box and it vibrates when an agent is lying more than usual.

Passahhh

Funnily enough Modis were also my 1st ever agent (they had probably the most sexy agent lady I’ve ever seen in my entire life)

1st contract - Sony music 1999, PlayStations and free games - superb contact I was on £350 a day and living the good life, 3 month extension, 6 month extension, 9 month extension

Out for beers with the boss and he asked me what the agent cut was, I had no idea but said I was on £350 a day, boss swore and swore and swore

Said he was paying them £720 a day
