instead of a rate cut..

Everyone says that

Cause I would! I can get a new job within a week if necessary, and almost certainly for more than I'm on now. I only stay here cause I quite like it! But if they tried to reduce my pay, I wouldn't just take it and say "ok". I can understand if you're in a niche area, and would struggle to get another role, that you'd have to accept it, but I'm not, so I wouldn't.

Brave words. I've heard them before, from thousands of contrators across thousands of clients, since long before you were hired. But, now they are all cut.

I think that a "yeah love, right" is more succinct

[Bexter]

I think that a "yeah love, right" is more patronising

Apologies, I've been watching too much of the sweeney recently

I have done something similar when negotiating a contract start with a client I knew well. They has a budget for 6 months work at a crap rate. I agreed to do 78 days work over 6 months for the full budget amount. 3 days per week mostly from home. Very nice.
