How bad is it...

[mrv]

If I start in a place which is very different to how the client presented it at interview I will walk, I have and never had a problem getting another contract. If you wan't to be a defacto permie then follow NLUK's advice where he treats the client like his master rather than a true B2B relationship.

TLDR: Grow a pair or go permie

Depends on how sought after you are. If you're a true star in your field you could pull off this diva attitude, otherwise it might bite you back bad. Look at Mario Balotelli for example - a proper knobhead that he is, still manages to get contracts and money. Us little men have to go about according to what we sign for, which is super uncool by any school's standards.

Just leave perhaps speak to the line manager first say its not the same role the agency told you it was & ask if he would mind you leaving. Do not expect to get paid for any work you have done either.


Lifes too short to stay in a dodgy contract & you will get dropped instantly by the end client or agency if it suits them regardless of what your contract says IME.


A lot of agencies are highly selective with the truth they just want to get someone onsite earning their commission....and that's about it they just assume a contractor will put up with anything & do anything to get their daily rate !

Well it's either this or waste your time on a thread with a bloke that didn't know how to claim expenses after three years of being a contractor.....

Yes, also known as the contractors' alternative to work
