Have you considered sharing an apartment to cut the accommodation costs? Not everyone's cup of tea of course.

Well done that man, as several of us pointed out your negotiating position was strong and from the sounds of it you used the position correctly. I'm pleased for you

I fly out on Sunday evening and head back on Friday afternoon. Monday isn't an option. I wish it was though - I've not had a sunday dinner in 3 months and not going to get one until October. But at least I'm going to be generating the amounts of cash I'd expected when I first took the role.

Whenever I've priced a job from Manchester > Wherever, it always seems that Monday am > Friday pm is ~£400 no matter where "wherever" is in Europe or the UK. Shetland was £700 when I looked a few weeks ago FFS! I could work in Australia for less than that!

£100 a week on flights?? I'm £200 - £300 with Flybe travelling from Belfast to Birmingham every week

No flights are the easy one - they usually come in at about 100 a week. It's accomodation out here. But now I've found an appart-hotel thing that I'm happy enough in for 55gbp a night, so it looks fine from now on. I'm doing my 'pound fall through the floor' dance now around the office. Is it having the desired effect?

Originally posted by Turion View PostYou say that you are losing money on this contract. This means that you are saying that you are using your own savings to finance this role Can you tell us what costs you are incurring that are more than your residual income?
Originally posted by Turion View PostFinally, as one post already mentions, in Swiss, you are a temp employee, not a business collecting clients. If they don't give you what you want, then for God sake walk away like a man.
