I am past caring, so just doing the hours, performing on demand. Demeaning is an understatement.

Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostThe suspense continues.
Agent has given me a letter stating contract now ending from 15th April, but he told me that the client may well want me for either a bit longer, or for original contract duration. They don’t know what they want. Client was to have seen me but did not show up for either meeting and will not talk straight.
I am really not bothered either way which way is goes, but, FFS, I end in just over two weeks so need to be focussed on either seeing this turkey through, or to get looking for my next adventure.
Absolutely incredible. I am past caring, so just doing the hours, performing on demand. Demeaning is an understatement.
Probably best I do leave – if I am kept on I am in no frame of mind to deliver my all as I usually do, due to the chain yanking they are doing.
I could write a presentation on this....Comment

Originally posted by Ketto View PostIn a similar boat, taken on a three month contract having agreed a rate 65% higher than the advertised rate (which was ludicrously low).
A month in and the agent calls to say the client didn’t realise my rate was higher (Hmmm) and I need to drop by 65%. A few days go by and I get another call from the agent saying I need to accept the cut or the contract will be terminated. A few more days go by and then another call from the agent to say that the business manager who I am working with has had a meeting with the budget holder and they are now happy to pay the agreed rate until the end of the three months and they may want to extend on the same rate, a lower rate or not at all. I think they have realised that the guys on the lower rate haven’t got a Scooby what they are doing. The end date is now eight working days away so CV is online and I’m available the day after the existing contract ends.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

It is called 'False belief'. You wouldn't be farting here if you really are past caring.
