Contracting at Nationwide

[edison]

Par for the course with AMS that.

+1 the cheeky buggers.

Am I reading all this correctly!?

The OP states he is looking to go back to Nationwide because...

Needs 2 years of day rate pay
It was easy last time in 2013
Didn't have to do an awful lot of work to do previously which was a plus point
Has been working from home for the last 2 years on easy street and couldn't possibly go straight into a busy contract

No wonder a lot of permies get really narked by contractors

It was AMS. Put me through at £xxx and then when they called with the offer it was £110 less than agreed. When I sent them proof of the agreed rate they didn't even acknowledge it

Lucky at that time, I had offers from several other places so wasn't reliant on this but I've had problems with AMS before and they operate on 30 day payment terms as well.

Magic. Thankyou.

I don't think you understand the dynamic at NW. It's the contractors that do the work while the permies do very little from what I saw. Indeed, I was a permie there until 2004 so I know although things may have changed since the departure of Phil Williamson as CEO.

Well, as noted here if you want to be pedantic

Did you flag it at the time?

I would advise him to stay out of Professional if he want his sockies to last more than a few posts.
