    Lying agents

    You know I've been around a long time and seen it all. But the agent on this current gig really is taking the biscuit. Every single thing he has told me is a straight lie. Its hard not to burst into laughter speaking to him now. Lots of it is stuff he should expect me to find out pretty soon after arriving on site too. Thankfully its a short gig and I wont have to put up with him for long. May name and shame him later (after I've been paid) some of this stuff is outrageous.

    Client is a nightmare too, completely clueless and beyond saving, just been brought in as the scapegoat.

    Ah well.

            Will be an Indian Agent on an unlimited ICT visa who's about to take over the Contracting World and make us all redundant while the Indians flood over here bringing their kids, spouses, brother, sisters, grandparents, aunties and uncles and anyone who knows them plus their sacred cow on dependant visas and then they will kill all of us UK born contractors as Honour Killings and thus offshore is onshore and we are the Radio Luxembourg of UK contracting.

                  Did you know that the cow is actually not sacred at all in India?

                  It was on QI so must be true
