You haven't been lurking here for very long either, have you?Originally posted by pault107 View PostI'm new around here and should probably keep my mouth shut, but I can't.
The amount of spelling and grammar mistakes in this thread is quite staggering. You guys are supposed to be the cream of the crop, and yet you can't string a coherent sentence together.
Is this what our education system has come to?

That's a pretty tame mistake compared to the above posts, but still slightly embarrassing.

So call em out on it...Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostI'm surprised and impressed you could read that.
I asked for the "no termination clause" to be removed and they refused. They said it was client policy. I was the only one at ClientCo with 'no termination clause'.

Necer had any problems with them - always paid on time but I too had to get the 4 week clause in.Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostI'm surprised and impressed you could read that.

Anyway, for your own good - Parity would only stick this on you if you're:
a) on a really crap rate.
b) a crap negotiator.
Shoot the messenger if you want, but do yourself a favour and "grow some" before the next renewal. That doesn't mean hissy fits - it means standing your ground on things you know you will win. 4 weeks is one of them, (increase maybe?)Last edited by Ivor Bigun; 13 February 2009, 05:52.

Im with parity and I didnt have a termination clause when I started the current contract. But then I decidedI wanted one so told them so at the next renewal. They agreed.
True they are cheapskates but they arent on high margins though. They are on about 7% with me.
