Originally posted by Kryten View PostCouple of things that I have found in my experience :
1) going back never works. Never go back. I got called back to my last gig (having been project hero) and have just ****ed it right off. Working for a different manager mind, total and utter cockknobber. Onwards and upwards.
2) contracting through more than intermediary is a royal pain and very stressful.
Frankly this sounds tulipty Norrahe.
Well you did ask.
Good luck with finding a more perfect role in cloggers.

If you can get a notice clause and are not forced into renting accommodation for a long term, why not - especially if you're currently benched?
As for payment, can't the agency be leaned on somewhat as they are doing F all to win the work? If not, doesn't seem a big problem as long as you trust you will GET paid.
I'm going to have a think about it, not benched yet.
Don't have to worry about accommodation as I live in cloggers and its a 20 mins commute door to door. Not to mention its 5 mins walk from my Dutch language place.
I was thinking of going back to the agency and basically telling them, that I will invoice and that they pay me within 5 days or I won't consider it. If the third party doesn't pay them on time then that's their problem. I'll also want a rate rise as I know the rate they negotiated was lower than the rate card at the clientco.
I'll wait for the person I used to work with to come back to me and see what they say.

I mean most people guessed who he was by the end of Kryten's first post. Even for a sockie that would be a record, for a person trying to replace their main account its just embarrassing.
Pry continue, your cretinary amuses

just tell the Agent you want 15% more to factor the money or they can do it for free but you want to be paid weekly / monthly.
You get paid regardless of when they get paid.

And why do I get tulipty pms from certain posters ordering me to go back to posting as Suity? (Not that this is an admission in any kind of way, just saying)
Seriously, why?
