I have caught my latest agent lying about my day rate to the end client so that they can rip off the pair of us for £125 a day
They are supposed to be on a fixed margin rate and alerted me to the fact they were up to no good by inserting a clause about rate confidentiality in to the contract.
I am not so pissed off about them taking £100 that they have told the client they are on while I am getting the 550, as the end client will be billing me out at a far higher margin than that. But am not standing for a floppy haired tit with a bad degree being stupid enough to lie to someone with 20 years in the game and access to the budget figures.
I gave them a bollocking last week when I found the figures and they decided to try and play dumb so my option this week is to forward my invoice in the same email trail as the time sheets and let the client give them a kicking.
The flip side is I like the end client and am enjoying the work.
So why rock the boat when I am still on 525 a day while most of my mates have settled for 400-425 in this market ???
Thoughts and abuse welcome
