Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyWell no he's a lying pimp, if you want to be technical. I'm not seeing where the professionalism is for the pimp to state he's making almost no money when he's making well over the industry average. For every week you work he's pocketing one day of your money.
So your view is that,
1. He's a good negotiator?
2. You shouldn't ask what rate you are on?
My view is that he's a scumbag and eventually the client will work this out and they will lose the relationship. I don't get this view that somehow pimps only lie to the contractor, they lie to both parties. Just accepting this as the norm is not something that I do, if that's "hating" then so be it.
2. I am not sure I said that. Sometimes ignorance is bliss if you are happy but on the flip side it can be good ammo for the next renewal or a lesson for the future. I do know finding out and then crying and let it potentially ruin the gig you are in is not the thing to do.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
