    How can you call yourself an agent now you've lost your contractor.
    He's 'resting'.

        He didn't embarrass you by doing an MF. Your client still has their teeth?

        It didn't work out so he left honourably?

        he did the work.

        he resigned one assumes with correct notice?

        ok you may not like it and may deduct reasonable expenses but pay him.

        My point was that he is clearly embarrassed when he has no need to be He did everything by the book. We tried to resolve the problem 6 months ago.
        My not paying him was a joke. he is a nice man and I will call him and tell him he owes me nothing and should not really give a damn about what I think

          Why do you assume he gives a **** about you? He flagged up the gig was going to tulip, and you did **** all to help. He kept his cool and left with dignity. He probably thinks you're an oxygen thief and is too well mannered to say so.

          Try and learn from this and don't be so limp wristed and ineffectual ever again.

            We know you're not that big a tulipe DA.

            Are you sure you're cut out to be an agent?

                  Da, I've had some really really goog gigs and some bloody awful ones. Sometimes you get a good agent, other times you get an agent that is more bothered about being on a preferred supplier list than actually representing the poor sod that despite being shat on daily still hauls ass into work and somehow manages to keep a brave face on it.

                  One I had a pimp call me up 6 years later just to say "you were right about client xyz, total bunch of tossers, you were right and we should have listened. We will never deal with them again"

                  Took some balls to do that, and it was a pimpette

                  What I'm saying is, if he is a nice bloke then he was probably a nice bloke at client co as well. If they then treat him like tulipe, the next poor sod is going to get the same treatment. Wouldn't it have been better to try and mediate at the time? Client co benefits as they don't have to change players half way through a project and matey benefits as he doesn't end up in bedlam ward.

                  Did they ever complain about his work, or competence? Did they make the right choice when hiring him?

                      That I do understand that it was an awful gig and that you were not up to dealing with the politics of it all. I appreciate that you flagged this to me a few months ago and I do appreciate you were concerned about letting me your agent down because I stuck my neck out to get you the job in the first place.

                      My message to you is. I do not have a problem with it and please do not feel embarrassed.

                      As long as I do not have to pay your last invoice we can call it quits

                      DA in forgiving mode
                      Pay up and stop fracking whinging! So long as he's only billed for what he worked, you've no right to withold money due. Try that with a 'tradesman' doing jobs on your home and you'd have your teeth knocked out.
