Whoops now rougly how much client is paying for me.

My agent told me he is only making 5p an hour from me. I had to take him out to lunch. He turned up in threadbare clothes and said he hadn't eaten in four days.

Dodgy is your agent? Small world.

Hi guys,

Boss at clientCo just forwarded an email about a new contractor starting....but it had all the negotiation between him and the recruiter.

So I now know how much ClientCo are paying for this new guy.... and in theory I am more senior...but for arguments sake lets say they are paying the same.....


Recruiters getting 32% from me...hmm not really that happy about that but could be worse...

So just for discussion purposes... what would you do with this information.... wait til extension time to use for a bigger slice or would you be cheeky and have a go to rinse the agency... 2.5months till extension time


Raaaa

Why should you expect the agency to renegotiate mid term during your current contract simply because you have found out how much of a cut they are taking?

Remember - YOU accepted the contract at the current rate that you are getting. Sure, go for leverage at renewal time but be prepared to walk otherwise you'll look like a gutless tit.

Once at contract renewal, I received an extra piece of paper or two which shouldn't have been in there. It stated that my agent gets £16 per day for me.

You've met Dodgy then?

He tried that with me the first time we went for a beer!
