Rate drop from one day to the next - lol

[stek]

I had one rate go up 10 quid a day when contract arrived, think pimp forgot he'd creamed it off early doors.....

Nice - and probably very rare!

Still, I have a sneaking suspicion that this may not be the last I have heard on this one....

No doubt!

TBH, WFH is all well and good, but this gig would have involved staying away during the week anyway (which I currently do, FWIW) and hence the reduced cost of WFH is one night's Spareroom/Hotel - nowhere near enough to compensate 5x <agreed rate - 10%>

Now, had the gig been more or less on my doorstep, I may have carried on the negotiations...of course, contract would need to reflect WFH and biscuits being provided each day also

Tell them that the -10% rate is your WFH rate. So, you'll accept at that rate if it's 5 days WFH. Every day that they want you on-site, they pay the full rate.

Then they have an incentive to accept the idea of working from home.

Now there's an idea - would never fly, I am sure (and not quite sure I would want it to!), but......interesting retort to all the shenanigans they have been spouting

I had an agent ask me what my day rate was. When I told him, he then converted it to Euros, as the client was European.

When the contract came through, it was the Euros price but in pounds, adding a nice chunk onto my day rate.

Me-£80/hour
P-What's that daily?
Me-£640
P-that's a bit high... £620?
Me-mmm--- £630?

And for all you newbies out there...

Pimp: What's your rate?

cojak: £1000 per day

Pimp: What's your range? What's the lowest rate you'll accept?

cojak: £1000 per day.

Pimp: That's not a range.

cojak: No, it isn't is it?

(The rate could be anything, btw...)

What commission do you pay on Egyptian currency exchange nowadays?

I'll take a raincheck. I've correct it now.
