    Not that juicy. Just a big flounce for no good reason.

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

    Which would indicate you've a bit of a backbone and like to get into the nitty gritty and fight your corner...

    so....

    Wow, this is not the community for me. i'll close this.
    Why throw the teddy out of the cot just because you get a straight factual answer?

    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.
    Good for you.

    You still haven’t answered the question. What do you hope to gain?

    Wow. You're not an employee and you expect to follow employment regulations. Apologies if that upsets you.

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

    How did you mean I got this wrong? By asking questions?

    I did my research on this one:

    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.

    Was your audio recording obtained legally?
    Absolutely this.
