Agent or Client?

[SallyAnne]

I have a friend...

This stunningly sexy strawberry blonde chick interviewed with a client last week, and it went very very well.

Her agent later rang her up and said they wanted her for the job.

She'd been sent over at an agreed rate before the interview.

Later the same day, said agent rang back and said "There's a slight problem with the rate - the client thinks it's too high. Will you drop it?" to which sexy chick say "Erm, no".

Agent then said that client said he's have to wait until after New Year to get budget approval for sexy contractor...even though it had been "URGENT START!!!!!MUST BE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY" throughout the whole interview.


So.....who's to blame here? Noob client? or dodgy agent? (not our DodgyAgent obviously)

get voting!

The strawberry blonde bint obviously -for believing what agents say

Agent is now trying to secure a cheaper resource for a higher margin while keeping yer mate in suspence as fallback

Call the client yourself

Call the client yourself

Or poll a group of geeks on an internet forum.

You're advocating this?!!

I would never dream of doing that, honestly!

Would you not go down a contractors throat (and not in a good way) for doing something like that?

as long as you dont pester him/her and dont leave messages. Just say that you have something else on the table and just want to hear "from the horses mouth" what have you got to lose?

[SallyAnne]

what have you got to lose?

Oh no, it's just so unsavoury! I'm English - we need to abide by rules and protocols!

[Churchill]

Oh no, it's just so unsavoury! I'm English - we need to abide by rules and protocols!

That is why you'll never get on in this world.

But not laws?
