Yes - more than once, although the only one I can actually remember was a chap called Sayed from Computer Personnel (sp?) who later turned up in the Apprentice. I doubt I was the only one, judging by his sales tactics, and I doubt he took it to heart, since he doesn't have one.Originally posted by BradNeedsYourHelpDo they take it personally and hold a grudge?
Can they get even? By bad mouthing you to other agencies/clients!??!! Just wondered like..

Exactly!!! Did the same to an agent, he layed low for a few weeks and came back with another role - said "water under the bridge, etc.".Originally posted by Emperor DalekYou could tell an agent to feck off today and tomorrow he would be your best mate for life if you landed him some commission.
Any talk of a blacklist is just a load of crap.

I've told more agents to feck off than I care to remember. They still crawl back and start sucking at you when they think you can make them some cash.

Even talking about a blacklist being a load of crap, is that a load of crap?
