And we wonder why HMRC has weaponised IR35 and is bringing in the nukes.

Wow, this is not the community for me. i'll close this.
The difference between employment and contractor is something you should know and is absolutely pivotal to your situation so why flounce when it's pointed out?
TBH you've had it pretty easy so far. We are all hard nosed contractors selling ourselves to the highest bidder. What's wrong with straight, cold hard facts?
Then there is the fact it's an anonymous internet forum which comes with it's own set of nuances and problems.
Getting upset and leaving at the first straight comment is hardly a good start.

Yeah, thing is I'm pretty experienced. I am privileged to have landed a new role a few days later. However I'm not one for "staying silent" when it comes to this type of unethical behaviour.
The part I missed out is I have legal insurance and a claim has been accepted under contract breach so it's just now a case of seeing what happens.
You still haven’t answered the question. What do you hope to gain?

Chalk it up to experience and start looking for your next contract.

Originally posted by contractUKonline View PostInteresting replies. I sort of wanted to gauge the response, it's curious that the company is unethical and the focus is on the recording.
How did you mean I got this wrong? By asking questions?

The very fact that you chose to record the conversation should have been the tipping point where you realised you’d got this wrong.
Little cog in a big machine sounds like you’d be under direction and control.
Oh. It’s ‘damning’ unless you’re a beaver.
