Role changes and rate forgetfulness

[GB9]

Re roles turning out to be completely different, there's a lot of this happening. The agent or clients need to provide a decent spec. Friend of mine was invited to an interview for a role which really matched him and it turned out the end client booked an interview for a totally different project, not one he could do either. He was very cheesed off having driven a couple of hundred miles to attend.

Monday's round trip was 206 miles. Yesterday's was 366. In both instances the role needed sign off from the programme and the Business' PM / BA practice. In both instances the 2 wanted different things from the role. The first lot stopped fractionally short of arguing in front of me, and the second lot had decided amongst themselves (and without telling the agent) that I might be suitable for a different role to the one I had originally applied for, having already given that role to a different supplier!

Didn't you have the rate you agreed on in writing on email? Then they can't move the goal posts.

They probably can and I am sure they do..

2 interviews in 2 days - both roles turning out to be completely different to the one I went for. And just to cap my fun off, an agent ringing me about a role we had previously discussed but swearing blind I had agreed to accept £125 / day less than I had. Not having much fun here!
