About making a deal you weren't happy with? Or that someone offered you a gig when you really needed one?Originally posted by Willy Win View PostI'm not happy about this at all ...
Either way, getting stroppy about it will just make you look a dick. -
Client wants me on site at all times. .....can I refuse?
With an attitude like that, GBTP.

You need to analize how long these contractos are working on the client site, maybe they alreay gain confidence from them.Originally posted by Willy Win View PostHad an interview for a gig during which the hiring manager stressed that in the contract working from home was not allowed. I didn't argue at the time as I needed the gig.
After starting I assumed that this would be the case for everyone in the Team but have found out that the other consultants and contractors who have been working there for longer (bar some administrators) are working from home once a week. I'm not happy about this at all but also don't want to cause any friction during my first 2 weeks .
How best should I approach this? Demand from my boss that I should be able to work from home and point to the fact that everyone else does, put up and shut up or speak to my agency? I feel like I'm being singled out which doesn't seem right.
You should prove your efficiency first.
Regarding your question: No you should'nt refuse.Comment
