    Time for a credit check on the agent.

    Then demand that two months fees be paid into an escrow account as insurance against bad debts.

    My agent is a total sh*t as well, I personnaly think they should just get a one off placement fee, and no ongoing commiss.

    Been offered another 12 month (5th one) renewal and the pimp has met my request to lower his margin by raising it. Further to that, he wants to change the payment terms to "30 days following the calendar month the work was performed"!!

    After this gig I'll be making a concerted effort two only work direct.

    How do agents get themselves a job?

    Hiring Agent: "Talk me through your CV".

    Interviewee: "Well I was head of the BBC for 15 years, before being offerred a job as Alan Sugar's Apprentice. I then doubled his profits overnight, before setting up my own business selling ice to Eskimos.".

    Hiring Agent: "There's not a shred of truth in that is there? You are obviously a psychopathic liar and a fraud. Your hired!"

    started a topic Agggghhh I hate agents!

    Agggghhh I hate agents!

    just had to say that. Why do they have to lie and deliberately p**s us off all the time?

    I'm just waiting for the current ones to ask if I'm going to renew.

    Over my dead body. Actually over their dead body if possible.

Working...
