    Hmmm. He hasn't tried replacing you with someone cheaper? That can only mean you're on a really tulip rate and he's coining it in. Their margins start at 30%, so don't say you weren't warned.
    And I'm glad the thought of him spamming all your refs amuses you. I'd chin the fucker
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      And what margin is he stiffing you for?
      (Genuinely interested. I have a job opportunity from them in my in box at the moment.)

        He isn't. I wouldn't touch them with your tulipty stick. One of the other S3 crowd took me for 34% a few years back (in the very lean years). It's their business model. They won't even submit you if you're too expensive.

          In my 3rd contract through them, i get paid 400 and they take 90. not sure about the previous two. but my rate has gone up between each contract. I only know this as my manager told me.

            That's £21K over a 48 week year. That's probably why they don't mind reducing the % in your case. No wonder your pimp loves you.

              Why do you need your manager to tell you that your rate has gone up?

                  That's approx 22% I would seriously start to negotiate that down to nearer the 10% mark.

                    how do you do that then?, does that actually benefit us if they charge the company less?
