Situation when dodgy manager want a cut form my Gig

[yasockie]

Get him to sign off some "overtime" and pay him out of that. It's a win-win

This. Split the risk and payout accordingly.

Explain how a company works - his company pays the agency which pays your company.

If he wants 5%, he'll just have to invoice your company like every supplier does.

If you ever get an invoice, send it to the client's accounting department and ask them to explain what it's for.

WHS, Hopefully in his greed he will do exactly that and you will have your evidence to go to the client

[doodab]

Defintely tell him to **** right off, if he persists try and get something in writing and report him.

Leave a horse's head in his bed.

Tell him you'll do it for a 10% rise.

[nicofars]

Yep, nice to see that it conforts my initial feeling.
And no, I won't agree if he gets me a 10% increase as it's door open to anything after that.

We are not in Breaking Bad right ?! ;-)

Thanks for the tips, defo not sound like he will try again to mention it again..

[BlasterBates]

Don't accept!

You could get into deep trouble.

Better to go and look for a new gig.

Quite right to point to your agency.

Depending on your daily rate and area of the country, you should be able to get him badly beaten each month for 3%.

NladyUK struggles to get a rise out of anyone nowadays....
