I'm not that desperate yet

[Mich the Tester]

Agent just phoned; will I return to ClientCo? Turns out they need someone with my skills and they did just a bit too much cost cutting. However, rate would be 50 euros. I started there on 75, took a rate cut to 62 at the end of last year as all contractors were ordered to do, now they want me to come back after 3 weeks on a rather sunny bench in my garden at an even lower rate.

This, while they recieve a juicy great state subsidy to prevent them going bust AND while they've pissed away a chunk of my pension savings on their creditty-derivativey-obligationary-crunchies bars.

F&*king banking parasites; I told them to shove it. I'd rather live under a bridge than lower myself to their standards.

Anyway, I gave someone a personal training session yesterday for more than 50 euros, so plan B is rapidly becoming plan A.

Rant over.

Well it's easy. Tell them you left, and will not come back for less than €60-65

€160-165 €260-265 + a private jet

I just ain't going back.

Well done. I think I'll try their approach next time I go to tesco. I'll load up my trolley and when then offer to pay 80% of the bill at the checkout as that's what I think it's worth in the current economic climate.
