I am attempting to substitute in my current contract.
I have the substitute contractor lined up he is happy. The client company is happy as the contractor has previously worked there and knows the project.
So I ring the agent to inform him (sub'ing is in the contract after all).
I thought that he would be happy I had done all this work and he would not be out of pocket.
His first line was: "Why are you leaving, if it is for another contract then we should be handling that for you"
WTF
Then after I have told him it is none of his business why I am leaving he says:
"Well we will terminate your contract and take on the other contractor ourselves"
WTF x 2!!!!
Once I had informed him that the Client co has a block on new contracts he then says
"I will have to go and check on this because this has never happened in 4 years"
Why do these barrow boys deserve any money. This oink is simply a block to commerce.
I could have just said "Here is my notice and I am going on holiday as of now"
