How many years have you been contracting for?

Since 1993, with a slight break around 1994. Next question?

Help desk support doesn't pay £500 sobs a day.

Your sort of support really does pay 500 sobs a day (with refunds on request)and quite a lot more if you can be arsed to show your face, although I wouldn't recommend it. That restraining order only needs reactivating...

Always a possibility. Honesty, however, does seem to have an effect on some agenty types, perhaps they are just not used to it?

Exactly what I was thinking. They sound like your first class travel fantasies.

No good deed goes unpunished. Next thing you know, the first agency will get someone in for £400 a day, and you'll be left high and dry!

I got myself some leverage, and I'll be bloody well using it.

You've outmaneuvered her magnificently champ and really squeezed her margin like a contractor pro.

Shame the same can't be said about the agent

She already thinks I've done her a favour by turning down the opposition, so the IR35 ticky boxy thing should be a tad easier. As others have said elsewhere, an IR35 fail is something like 25-30% depending on location, expenses and all that jazz. I got myself some leverage, and I'll be bloody well using it.

Contractor with some scruples alert. Had to happen sometime, it's just that nobody expected to see it on this forum.

Is that what you're calling it?

BTW it wasn't me who tagged this thread with "Rank Stupidity". That was someone else.

Credit where credit is due, you must have some big cojones to mention intelligence after starting this thread.

There'll be an intelligence test along in a minute, but since you missed the others, missing this one won't hurt so much.

shaunbhoy gives him a daily massage with a happy ending. Does that count?

Only if a happy ending includes some broken bones and a quick trip to A&E.
