Ending a contract early - Dilemma

Question: do you think you are expensive or is the agent potentially stiffing you both? That is, going rate should be £500, you're getting £400, agent is claiming to the client that you're being billed at £600? Has the client been conned into paying £600 because you were meant to be worth that 20% extra?The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -

Big difference between saying "I am not happy with your performance" and actually being unhappy with the performance.

Also, genuine question - when you say, I would have binned him already - are you talking about me leaving the client or the PM binning me? I am guessing the latter, but thought would clarify with you.Last edited by ManiAnanth; 2 April 2020, 16:56.Comment

Honestly, I do not know! When I negotiated the rates with the agency - there was a lot of back and forth and w.r.t to the contract as well around RtoS, SDC etc., the agency said that they are only keeping a 6% margin because, they wanted to work with the client long term etc., etc., but that is just standard talk straight out of the playbook of every recruiter...Right?Originally posted by LondonManc View PostQuestion: do you think you are expensive or is the agent potentially stiffing you both?
