P!ss-take job of the day

[DimPrawn]

Private companies working on gravy-train public sector contracts. Kerrrrrching. Bottomless pits of money.

That's where I've earned silly wonga.

I have been offered 735 and I've told the agent I'm happy to walk if they don't pay up - as that is what they are paying for my colleague doing the same job as me, through the same agency. My suspicion is that the Agent has been creaming off the difference.

Good luck, it seems the agencies are really taking the pi55 now more than ever. A mate got offered a job on $500 a day and has just accepted it at $850 a day through a different agency. Disgusting the way they are acting IMO.

housing and general living is cheap as chips in the n/w so it wouldnt be that bad for a local job.

Is it? Can't say that I've ntoiced that in the last 52 years.

In these tulipy times I had to take a role on £13.50 ph, less than half what I used to get.

I just had the agent on the phone with an offer of an extension if... I take a 10% cut. They might as well have turned up on site and kicked me in the balls.
