Not me honestly. Current client is good as gold - best I've ever had for things like this. (Pity rate is tulipe). Mate of mine....
Took a few 3 month extensions with client. Before last one, mentioned that he had holiday booked for two week half way through. Client says yeh yeh no problem.
Two weeks before planned holiday and they turn to him and say we're been thinking, we're too busy, so we want you in those two weeks after all. Mate is a bit shocked - its all booked and paid for so he'd be well out of pocket.
He aint sorted it yet but I know what I'd do. It would be a case of hard luck I've told you so its not up for discussion.
Had similar thing when I was permie. Told them yeh fine but better speak to the mrs not me and make her the financial offer to pay for a better holiday if you're forcing me to cancel this one. They didnt bother....
Another example of client assuming contractors are there to take the piss out of...
Anyone seen anything like this before?
I've been ok with things like this with clients to be fair. Had a few agencies who've stuck in the contract that they've got to 'authorise' leave but I get it taken out and tell them its between me and the client and sod all to do with them. I'll inform if they really want to but thats it.
