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.
we all love a free night out. and we all love a 150 quid pay off for putting a contractor over dont weComment

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?Last edited by administrator; 6 December 2006, 10:02.

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.Last edited by administrator; 6 December 2006, 10:02. Reason: Names removed to protect the not-so innocent"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

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 ?Comment
