    It isn't the individual agent.

    Nonsense! Are you going to say all contractors are great because you are? There are good eggs, average eggs and bad eggs in every organisation. And let's face it, the good eggs can have a bad day...

      No,

      But I have dealt with three agents at Pathway.

      All have treated me like the dirt on their shoe.

        The fourth one might be okay though. Never got a gig through them myself, but happy to chat with them if I get stuck on traffic. saves listening to the radio.

          I tend to think every1 including agents treat you fair if you treat them with a level of respect. Tim if you keep having a recurring problems with agencies and being screwwed over, maybe you're pointing the finger in the wrong direction?

          Any thoughts?

            Not sure about that one...

            I rarely hear the words agent and respect used in the same sentence.

              Surely it's Agent -> Scum

              One of my most memorable moments is meeting and old childhood freind at a wedding, he was with his current girlfriend and I was with my wife.

              He introduced his girlfreind and my wife asked her what she did for a living. She replied "Recruitment Consultant", to which my wife replied "Oh, you mean scum". The look on her face was priceless, as was the look on my wife's face as she realised what she had said and apologised profusely.

                  sounds like Mrs Collin is just as bitter as you mark, that's hillarious!

                    You having been doing this long have you?

                    Or you have a very low 'respect' requirement.

                    I'm not referring to politeness here. They are eminently polite, whilst they are lying through their teeth.

                      Not so much bitter, just used to them being reffered to as scum evey time I talk to them (e.g. "who was that on the phone?" "Scum." "Oh OK.")
