And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYep. And the trouble is, I´m tied to that agency for this client as I worked at that client less than a year ago via this agent. Could solve it by phoning another agent, but then the competition clause hits home.This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostAgent called and said that a contract at a bank can only be done 'on payroll' because they've had a visit from the taxman and the role is not for a predefined project; that means effectively that I would earn half my rate and have no means to subtract business costs from tax. I know this is going on all over the EU now, and it's f**&*(^(*king scandalous. Effectively the tax authorities are impeding competition by ensuring the job's only profitable for people who live nextdoor to clientco; this is supposed to be 'free trade and competition'.
This one leapt out at me:
