Double boomed

First gig won't take no for an answer. They can't match the day rate or duration, but can hike the day rate to 95%.

I can't shake the feeling that gig a took too long to make their minds up, and gig b cancelled their interviews and made an offer on the spot.

I'm very confused

How does one go about making ones mind up if they counter offer with equivalent day rate and duration?

Normally you choose the one where the receptionist has the biggest norks.

Um - don't you work for yourself?

Mine triples checks all expenses and refuses many things that were acceptable when I was a permie because he can't be arsed to do the paperwork.

First of all have one of these and then have one of these

Take gig b. Gig a will involve you working with a bunch of hand-wringing, ineffectual f-wits who couldn't make a decision if their firstborn's life depended on it. Trust me on this.

Is this some parallel universe where demand for Suities outstrips supply of Suities?

Ambassador, with this quip you are really spoiling us.

The other met him three times and hasn't spotted the potential issues

They confirmed my suspicions. I formally turned them down yesterday. Today they followed me round like a jilted bunny boiler. Then they said they were going to counter offer.

Then they came back and said they had withdrawn their offer

Erm, I turned you down.

Now all you need is gig B to bail on you because of your game playing and you're back to square one. I was joking when I said play one against the other.
