Time for a wake-up call firehawk, let’s see how this is being viewed by the protagonists:
Bolshie twot at client – Sorted, got rid of that useless git, can blame all delays on him now.
Hiring manager – What a clueless chump, just walked off without a word, contractors are a waste of space.
Agent – Sorry clientco, the guy is an idiot and must have told us all lies, smarm, smarm, I have a much better candidate ready to start tomorrow. Right – let’s see if I can cause him grief by threatening to claim all commission for the 6 months of the contract.
You – potless, no contract, all the confidence of a whipped dog.
Yeah but you were in the right and really showed them what’s what, should make you feel better watching JK.Comment

Sorry but unlike you, i refuse to be abused or bullied by anyone.... and people have to learn their mistakes.
furthermore in the time i was there, they already had 2 other contractors and had got rid of them within days, i was the longer lasting one. im not the only one that has had this problem, permie staff have had that too. - i know what im doing.Last edited by firehawk; 7 June 2010, 09:46.Comment

You might end up doing a big favour for future contractors there.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I find that it's best in these situations not to be over sensitive. When you feel you are being picked on, imagine yourself in a big bubble. Once inside your imaginary bubble, their words won't be able to get to you. And don't be ashamed to sneak off to the toilets and have a good cry.Comment

I know what you mean mate, im not sensitive/overly sensitive at all - it was absolutely brutal and have a tough skin, but this was just ridiculous given the fact that there were NO DOCUMENTS OF ANY KIND to follow, read or understand...and expected to do something, make something from thin air......im not a magician, sorryComment

Forget the others who couldn't hack it or the perms or who was right, no one cares. You will be getting slagged rotten and you are out of pocket - that is your reality, everyone else will carry on getting paid and blaming you for the lot now you are gone - end of !Comment
