Severely pee'd off an Agent

I had an agent flip out at me a few years ago, I was about to go for an interview with his client and another company offered me my dream job so I took it.
Sent the agent an email and got a call back asking whether I thought I was being professional etc. He kept telling me that software was a very small, close knit community and once you get a bad name it is very hard to get another job. I was young and a bit naïve and was caught quite off guard. He demanded that I sent the client and himself an apology email, I did and explained what had happened and that no offence was meant etc.
I mentioned it to one of the guys I worked with who was a contractor (I was still a permie then), he laughed his arse off and told me to forget about it as nothing would come of it. The agent had probably already spent the commission he was expecting and was just annoyed etc. He was right, it has never been mentioned by anyone ever again.Comment

Well we moan like stink and get very angry at agents so can't begrudge them for getting pissed of at us in some situations. I am surprised the OP hasn't had a lot more experience of pissed off agents to be honest. What goes around comes around sometimes. That's life and everyone gets over it.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Usually the agents do get pissed off but it's more of "I'd do the same but hate you right now" pissed off!Comment
