Interesting - Qdos passed my contract with Xansa.

B&C didn't pass mine.

Yeh when I told the agent my final decision that I wont be able to take the contract due to the Ts&Cs he sighed and seemed resigned to the fact- he wasn't angry and didn't try to argue, so think this must happen quite often with them.

btw: the agent copied me on all the emails that he sent to legal, some of the replies addressed to the agent from legal were not really nice at all, so am surprised he copied me on them, but I sort of felt sorry for him .

Come on...never feel sorry for agents....

I did go and watch he mackems last Saturday like against Juventus And I've told you I want them to win their first 5 games haven't i?

Oh sh*t - maybe I am on the turn!!

I'm out doon the toon tonight though (well, in 15 minutes to be precise!), so I'll get my black and white stripes back to full strength

I saw the mackem comments about 5 games and assumed you were one of 'them'....I'll let you off and stop tryin to wind you up now I know ur not batting for t'other side....so to speak...

SA, I got an offer for a role through Xansa end of last year, only when it came to the contract signing it was a joke - I couldn't accept the Ts&Cs in the contract as according to my accountant some of the terms may leave me within the IR35, I tried to negotiate, but their legal department was very strict about it and would not change the T&C, therfore I had to take another contract with a different agency.

I also worked from home every Friday from the start - just told the project that I was going to work from home, and no problems with that. So, they aren't totally awful (but I still would avoid them!)

Don't know, just in wind up mood.....seeing how much I can get you to bite

Snap. Same thing happened to me. They just wouldn't budge.

One DBA they tried it with was about the only one in the place who knew what he was doing...just a shame the client wasn't more proactive in telling Xansa to behave...

Don't do it Sal....(even though you are a mackem)

Cheers Sandy - this is what I had a feeling might happen. They seem like a very bizarre setup.

[SallyAnne]

I know they played the reduce your rate or you'll be replaced by on / offshore replacements too with any of their contractors who were being retained for a length of time.....

Well I know what I'd tell them if they tried that!
