Aviva Contractor Shake-Up - All Out Within 60 Days + Rate Cut of 10%

[psychocandy]

And it is amazing how righteous some HR managers feel about implementing rate cuts.
A few months ago I walked from a contract when they tried to hit me with a 5% cut. And I heard that the client was annoyed because they thought I "had tried to hold them over a barrel".

wtf.




One way round this problem is to get the immediate line manager, in a "gentleman's agreement" to pay you for weekend days that you don't actually work (or work just an hour or two) to offset the reduction. Not ideal though as it is borderline dodgy.

That worked with me, but it fell down a few month later when the manager left...

Yep. Clients only see it one way - THEIRS.

Wouldn't do the dodgy method you describe. If that gets found out its going to go badly....

Did you really send this?

Is it just me or isn't posting correspondence between you/agent/client just tad unprofessional?

I guess it the posters business if they chose to post correspondence...

Not sure if the 2nd one was genuine or not or just a bit tongue in cheek?

I think everyone but you knows the answer to that......
