PO from Big Blue?

[MB99]

Anybody else waiting for I*M to produce a PO? Just wondered because the pimp told me she has 7 others waiting.

Have you spoken to the client about this at all? I bet you that the client has paid the agency and the agency are sitting on the money.

Next step me thinks

Yup, I think thats got to be my next step.

It's all done through a procurement arm, which IIRC is offshore somewhere. It can take a while and I've done work at Big Blue with no PO in place. But they are honourable and will pay from when you start. Not sure how your agent (if IBM, must be Hayes?) will see this though.

[MB99]

Yup, it's Hayes

Ah right. OK in that case I think I will wait a while longer.

[MB99]

Yes, it is Hayes

And yes it is Hayes

[dmini]

Yup - its fairly standard.
They didn't tend to get them out till last minute when I was there. Generally, I knew about renewals way before Hays

I think the finance people are in the Phillipines these days, and UK HR were in Hungary when I left
