New contract due to agency (HUXLEY) ripping us all off

[mouseorgan]

Your contract was with Huxley. You agreed a rate with them. Huxley's terms with the end client isnt really your business.

the client shouldnt be pissed off at you. They shouldnt be pissed off at Huxley either. They should just look to another agency to get their staff from.

You are a business. Get that into your head. you get what you sign up to with the agent. The agents arent really God's messengers. they are closer to the devil. They will maximise their income just the same as you want to do.

Oh I know I agreed what I agreed, but it's not a case of them "maximizing their income" but specifically breaking contractual agreements with my (former) client. There was no room for maneuver to improve rates and that was totally down to the agency. Their actions caused this situation.

They shouldnt be pissed off at Huxley either.

Huxley broke the contract with the client, and if Huxley also told the contractors it was fixed fee then they also broke the contract with the contractors.

I took that to be "Don't get mad, get even" or some such. As well as finding a different agency they most certainly should be pissed off..!
