Legal Advice - No notice contract?
LOL - Reading posts seems to be a lost art. I didn't get the contract until after I started. Don't start a gig without a contract? Sure I've never done it before, but when was the last time you were ON the market? It sucks. No really its f*** abject misery out there. I've got mad skills, but...- gdm

Legal Advice - No notice contract?
Wow, this is common? I guess I've just been lucky, I've always seen contracts where the notice was equal on either side. With that being said, I've only had to leave a few, and I've always tried hard not to burn bridges. But jeez, if you give adequate notice and they threaten litigation, I...- gdm

Legal Advice - No notice contract?
No, they can serve notice almost on the spot. I can honestly say I've never seen terms like this before....- gdm

Legal Advice - No notice contract?
Hi All, Have a concern I wanted to get some advice on. A few weeks back I started a new contract, but had a devil of a time actually getting the contract from the shoddy agent (setup is a bit odd, agent is contracted by the customer to deliver, so my contract is with the agency not the...- gdm

Starting anew
I switched from a permie role last year and I will admit I did not have enough savings to handle a significant break between roles. Only thing I would suggest is look at the market in your particular skillset and see what ranges of rates you see, then compare that against your own salary. If...- gdm

Can you be discriminated against because of experience?
You know what? That totally makes sense. I've worked with the type before, but thankfully not someone who was my boss. ;) The only other thing that makes sense to me is that maybe they are super keen on agile and feel that older types like me are adept enough to make the change (waterfall ->... -

Can you be discriminated against because of experience?
Thanks everyone for your replies. I've looked as well and the legislation doesn't mention a thing about experience, just age. I suppose it would be tough to prove. Just annoying as f*** that a role I am qualified and happy to do is out of my reach because of some arbitrary limitation set by... -

Can you be discriminated against because of experience?
Hi All, I'm not as clued up on the age discrimination laws as I should, so was hoping someone here had a view. Just had a call with a recruiter for a role that was right up my alley. Job specification was a perfect fit, rate was just a tad less than I'm on now, term length was good, and above... -

My experience of The Sanzar Partnership
So you think asking why someone doesn't have a phone number on their website is a putdown? :)- gdm

My experience of The Sanzar Partnership
Just to provide some balance in this thread, I've been with Sanzar for almost a year and I've never experienced the issues the OP has described. They've always been prompt with my payments, the only thing that has delayed payment has actually been my recruiter dragging their heels. This does...- gdm

The "Ask BrilloPad" thread.
Hey I've got a real question! :) How do you get a hold of Montpellier? I love the fact they don't list a phone number on their site and never answer emails. Or maybe this is a sign of things to come?
