[pzz76077]

My client wants to cut my rate by 3% for a renewal until April.

Should I:

Ask him why. Also, did the client tell you this or did it come from your agency??
If the latter then they are likely to be pulling a fast one.

My client wants to cut my rate by 3% for a renewal until April.

Should I:

3% is a strange figure but I'd say yes as it takes you nicely in to next year.

Nice cat by the way.

[Cyberman]

Tell them that you realise how bad things are, so you will take a 10% cut instead.

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Take it, do 3% less work, look for another gig

[RichardCranium]

Tell them to take it from AndyW's portion.

[Fred Bloggs]

Take it and book 5% more hours but do no more work. That way, you get to keep the extra 2% for being home a few minutes later each day.

[ChimpMaster]

Split it with the agent. And then do some extra hours and charge more for them.
