Agents' Take

[Denny]

Hold on a moment aren't we supposed to be contractors, i.e. flexible resource, highly skilled and highly in demand professionals operating in business in a real and tangible way???

If so why do we care if we get binned by a client there are hundreds more!!!

Its these risks that mean we get rates higher than permie salaries.

If you want security and job protection jump back over the fence to permiedom.

What's security and job protection got to do with being fleeced by a dodgy agent or client. If all businesses allowed their clients to shaft them over payment, then no business would exist. You seem to make the mistake of equating flexibility and freedom with being crapped on.
