Originally posted by StayPuft View PostThanks all for the replies, even the more abrasive ones, lol.
I agree that I should abide by my contract and stick it out but should the agency/client not do the same? The position they have me in does not reflect what was agreed/stated in the contract. I can easily do the job but it wasn't what I signed up for. I'm certainly not looking for sympathy either, I'm merely seeking advice.
Re the new position, naturally, I'd be taking a chance going for it as they could quite easily do the same to me and put me in a different role.... or it could be the job they have advertised (which suits me better than my existing one). The rate is actually the same as what I'm getting now so I wouldn't be moving for the money.Comment

If the job is not as advertised/described in the contract potentially it is a breech of contract.
Have a word with your contact at the client site and point out the differences between your contract and real life. Tell him/her why you aren't happy and explain that unless the position is made to match the contract you will be out of there because of breech on contract.
They will most likely let you go.Comment
