Bypassing a bad Agency

[Pondlife]

Seconded/thirded. You're not the agency's customer, they are your customer. You don't get to tell the customer what to buy.

I agree entirely that the agency is providing a service to the client not the OP (see previous post) but the client is not getting a good service from their supplier (agent) and it may be worth bringing this to their attention. I.e express your concerns to the client that your contract is up for renewal but this hasn't been progressed by the agent. If you have a decent working relationship with the client they may phone the agent and tell them to JFDI.

It's getting horribly "consensual" around here is it not?

Sorry, shall we get back to opting in or out?

I am afraid that it is not a subject that I get particularly worked up about, though it will bring Denny and mailman out from under their stones

When are you going to opt out from being a pain in the arse?
