Agency has no clue what IR35 is

Current agency call it a "suspension of services" in written communications. I think 'furlough' was used as a shorthand and has now become common usage.

Yep this.

Pimp yes we are IR 35 certified

Love this one. Mail them and say you can't see it on their website. Could they get it added, possibly next to all their other accolades. You can start a sweepstake to see who think they will or won't add it.

Me "why? you still didn't tell me if it is inside or outside. You have other contractors working for you don't you? Can't imagine none of them has ever spoken or asked about it."

I can, those buggers will sign anything. It makes it hard to negotiate when the agency is like 'none of the other 5 people I placed complained'
