How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Not meOriginally posted by Troll View PostNot me...one of the worst agencies ever worked throughOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I wondered the same as well.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostCP are by far the worst agency I've ever come across in over two decades of contracting. Somebody got a backhander then? Or the voting system such as it is is flawed.
Either way the same total tulipe every year.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

i didn't vote for them but then again I gave up on the voting as from what I remember there was no option to skip any questions - I work direct and have never used an agency so I didn't want to vote for any agency.
Maybe people voted for them 'cos all the others were worst - so CP are the best out of a bad bunch?This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

Beats me how Computer People got an award.
They almost messed up a previous contract of mine with inflexible contract terms, as they wouldn't bend an inch.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
