Reply to: Are pimps just getting lazy?

[SueEllen]

Pimp : "Are you leaving because your contract ended normally?"

Correct answer. "They are getting rid of me, but there's at least 12 months worth of work".

Pimp : "Hiring manager?"

You "I have his name and number. It's yours once £500 is in my paypal account..."

Thanks for that.

[Jeebo72]

£500 works. Trust me! I doubt £5000 does

[vetran]

Pimp : "Are you leaving because your contract ended normally?"

Correct answer. "I'm leaving because they only pay £500 a day, but there's at least 12 months worth of work. If you get in quick they might put it up to £800 a day + 20% margin"

Pimp : "Hiring manager?"

You "I have his name and number. It's yours once £5,000 is in my paypal account..."

FTFY

This is why I have a PAYG phone that gets thrown the minute I get a new contract so pimps can't ring me (until one guy rang the ClientCo switchboard ), don't mind them emailing me though.

I had that once. Suity doesn't often go postal.

[SimonMac]

Yes. For example just had a call.

Shame you cut him off at that stage.

Ah come in we've been expecting you.

The point is I was getting asked lots of questions (some latterly becoming more relevant but by that point I was just fed up with all the questions).

Leaving this role is not without its clouds, but I am just not happy discussing it in detail with a complete stranger.

Pimp : "Well if they didn't offer an extentions, or it's ending early this can be an indication of ....."

Shame you cut him off at that stage.

[suityou01]

Yes. For example just had a call.

Pimp : "You looking?"
Me : "No, sorry got a new gig starting Monday"

Pimp : "Ah ok. I see you are at XYZ currently"
Me : "Yes until Friday"

Pimp : "We do a lot of business with their hiring manager, Bilbo Baggins (or equally made up name). Do you know this person?"
Me : No.

Pimp : "Is there another hiring manager there you know the name of?"
Me : "No"

Pimp : "Do they use a lot of contractors there?"
Me : "Don't know"

Pimp : "Are you leaving because your contract ended normally?"
Me : "Sorry, why the Spanish inquisition?"

Pimp : "Just doing my job"
Me : "OK well I'm just trying to do mine"

Pimp : "Well if they didn't offer an extentions, or it's ending early this can be an indication of ....."
Me : "A reference or a lack of is also an indication"

Pimp : "Sure, so is this contract ending as the work is complete or ....."
Me : "I am on perfectly good terms with the client and would happily come back. In this instance there is not enough work for me to be extended"

I cannot be arsed to make a comm....

[CheeseSlice]

Sadly, the second agent was one of the younger ones.
The little gel slick haired creatures are breeding and multiplying, and the only way we can control their numbers is to not reply, and to keep your dustbin lid firmly shut.

It's not wrong in the thread title.

I correctd it

[DirtyDog]

I am indicating the possessive so for once I (think) i got it right!

(edit got it right in the sig but wrong in the thread title)

[SimonMac]

Did they at least use the apostrophe correctly?
