    I've mentioned before the agent who insisted I had to ask them to have a day off and kept on and on whenever I didn't. I told him if it was squared with client then its a done deal but out of courtesy I'd be happy to copy them in.

    I still used to sort two weeks off with client, all sorted, done deal, forward to agent and he'd reply back "yes thats ok I can authorise that". Pointless arguing in the end because he liked his bit of power. And I knew if he said "no I wont authorise" it would have made no odds at all anyway.

    Same with being ill. I'll let client know but agency dont really need to know I'm not going be at client by 10am. (1 day sickie in 5 years mind - was in hospital with a*se problems!)
    What does any of that have to do with this thread? I am sure that telling the agent will be in your contract but still hardly relevant to this thread.

      Wake up man and join the dots. The agency wanted PC to update his LinkedIn status every other Tuesday to say he wasn't at work, but the Dole Shop would have twigged.

        You people are super boring with your constant bullying of posters you don't like and your piling on. I've seen some of you do it even when a particular poster rather sadly commented that it made it difficult for him to use and enjoy the board.

        I don't know how you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning. Disgusting. People need this as a resource and you take advantage of it. Moderation is pretty pathetic too, if I'm honest. They should dump the likes of you. <mod thanks>

        you would get smacked in real life for this sort of stuff, I bet you are quiet as a mouse <mod snip>

            May I courteously remind you of the standards of behaviour that are expected in the professional forums?

              Moderators are not on the forum 24x7, they also know the peccadilloes of the regulars (when they are taking chunks out of each other they don’t mean it).

              But this is a Professional forum guys, take a care...

                    Only where it is richly deserved. Remember nearly every thread you start ends in General eventually so the argument you posted in professional so deserve some defence is a little thin

                      I will admit that you're one of the good old regulars now.
