Farcical contract.....

[LondonManc]

Said no and kept billing...

Good for you.

I had an interview at an IB a few years and got the gig. While in the role, I bumped into the guy who did the technical side of the interview and asked him for feedback. He said that his feedback to the hiring manager was simply that while LM is £50 more than the others, he's the only one who could do the project. I guess better contractors rely on better interviewers a lot of the time.

So when they were trying this did you respond at all or just say no?

Seems like he dealt with it well, unlike you, who would have behaved like a vegetarian in in butchers shop, prior to starting a thread whingeing on here.

I’ve been quite fortunate that recent previous clients have been more like that. I think the issue here is the budget holder was suffering from ‘Contractor gets paid more than me syndrome’, forgetting that the actual cost to the organisation of employing them is likely to be double what their salary is. Want to avoid being benched as the war chest is low due to buying our first house and the Mrs has turned into Laurence Llewellyn Bowen on me (good job I am better at controlling scope creep with clients than I am with her!). Anyway got three agent calls to return at lunch and I can negotiate home working or a favourable notice period here if they insist on a cut in order to extend. Sure it will be fine one way or the other.
