Well, yes. But when I ~needed~ the work - needed the money, I mean, of course - I sometimes took jobs like that. So even to those recruiters I stay polite.

So, those, I do not care if their job is harder or not. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 4:24 PM Am I missing something? Why the interest in making life hard for recruiters? Ok, I'm a contractor so my continued employment depends on their existence. Still, why? If I thought that you normally work under those conditions - $125/hr or outside the US half the time - then of course you're just stating up front one of your requirements. From the tone, though, it sounds like you're trying to make them unhappy for the fun of it. Is there something going on here that I'm not aware of? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
