    Boomed!

    2 month contract extension, very tiny (3%) rate cut.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

            You seem happy about this rate cut. Was it going to be a much bigger cut like 25% and you battered them down to 3%. Well done if you did.

            If not, the agent was taking the piss doing this as no client would bother trying to save a few peanuts, only to have the task/risk of hiring a new contractor for the 2 months. They obviously like you, so why would they risk losing you for 3%?

                For all we know he might be on a few grand a day, so 3% is more than a few peanuts.

                Otherwise it does look like the agent's just wangled a slightly bigger cut for themselves. I say send them a tulip in a jiffy bag to get your own back. They love flowers.

                    I'll be sending them a lot more when we start having to pay to throw our rubbish. It'll probably be cheaper to post it to a random ex-agent of your choice.
