    Targets aren't the problem. its the fact that i honestly did feel bad for the guy that i saw.

    Dont insult someone because they genuinely try to help.

    I'm just not in it for the piss take. i've had it happen to me and its a tulip situation for a person to be put in
    How benevolent of you.

      and the other one i'll tell you about is the massive kickbacks we get from the Umbrella companies that we try so hard to sway you towards.

        Hold the front page - breaking news - XX are a scheming, lying, thieving bunch of ******$.

        Er, we already knew that. No-one on here will touch them with a tulipty stick.
        I like the phone trick though. Hadn't thought of that one.
        Anything else?

        Edit - and we knew about the kickbacks as well. XX used to push Giant very heavily, I presume they were the best payers?

            Hmmm, so what you're basically saying is that XX group are a bunch of devious, underhanded lowlife scum who wouldn't think twice about pimping their own granny if they thought they'd get commission of it and we shouldn't trust them any more than we'd trust a starved lion in the local kiddies playground.

            So tell us something we didnt already know.

              Wow, shocked and amazed, who'd have thought

              I don't suppose you've got any info on the ability of birds to fly?
              Or fish to swim perhaps?

              Jesus H christ on a bike, is it the school holidays already? Where does the time go?
              Why not?

                Come on guys give him a break. The info is free and we can choose to take on board or ignore.

                I for one would certainly not wish to discourage you Mr. Informer, from your whistleblowing.

                Not from here, but I've heard personally from other contractors & permies (thus far non IT), accusations levelled at some agencies of :-

                * Demands for exclusivity
                * Intrusive questions
                * Agency right to disclose information without explicit consent

                Have you come across any of that and if so is it becoming more widespread ?

                  The guy is at worse a disgruntled ex-employee or at best taking the pi$$!

                  Just ignore the troll!
