    Silly agency

    My agency has managed to lose the faxed copy of a timesheet sent to them at the beginning of November - they claimed they'd never even received it until I offered to sent the confirmation email they provide every time they receive a faxed timesheet.

    It seems inevitable that I'll eventually need to find the original timesheet and re-fax it to them, but in the meantime I'd like some ideas on how to help them realise their own stupidity for managing to lose a timesheet, and then accusing me of never sending it. Idiots.

            Remember the first rule of business: the customer is always right. Right?

            EBs are our customers so they are never wrong. So if you sent the timesheet and they say you didn't, then you didn't.

            I can't believe some of the attitudes on this forum. EBs are here to help us and support our businesses and they work darned hard on our behalf, and we seem to have a lot of ungrateful contractors on CUK suggesting we send them dog mess instead of suggesting that you ring the recruiter and apologise for your silly mistake.

            You ungrateful lot, you!

                News update ... agency called back to inform me that they've now found the offending timesheet. This would indicate that the agency is admitting to a mistake.

                Surely a landmark point in history?

                  I bet they didn't say sorry!

                    You are clearly hallucinating.
                    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
