Notice period concerns on a new contract

I'm not sure anyone has said that. Have you got the decorators in Dodgy?

Interesting debate. As a newbie to this forum it is interesting to hear the opinion of agents.

A decision to outsource is made by people who have no visibility of the alleged mercenary contractors. They are making decisions based on three ever present criteria. Quality, time & cost.

One might argue that lack of continuity of service leads to lower quality & that this by-product is visible to upper management. BUT that is very hard to prove.

As for notice period equivalence. This isn't a moral judgement but rather one that is made by the market. An equilibrium is reached through supply & demand. Currently if someone wants me enough they will agree to my terms especially as my CV shows continuity of service in previous roles. If the economy goes further downhill I may have to compromise on this to put me ahead of the field.

You cannot say fairer than that, except that I think you may be underestimating this continuity thing.

Perhaps.

On a general note I would say that type of cut & run contractor is a curse in terms of delivery. Furthermore birds of a feather party together. Where you get one you often see others land.
