I was offered a full time job, so I left the agency. Seven weeks ago. No sign of my holiday
pay, so I sent them this text:
Dear Fat Controller,
I have still not received the holiday pay you owe me. Every week for the past month you have promised
me that it will be in my bank account ‘next Friday,’ but it still hasn’t turned up. This means that I shall
have to request it in writing, so could you please text me the name of you line manager? I shall also require
the name of your branch head. If, after writing, I do not receive the monies owed, I shall put the matter into the
hands of my trade union’s legal team.
Thompsons - look 'em up. I’m sure that a small, provincial agency such as yourselves will only be too delighted
to deal with a nationwide network of lawyers.
Hah! I received a grovelly phone call about twenty minutes ago, and he told me in not so many words that he’d stopped ignoring the fact that he hadn’t bothered to sweary well pay me the money he owes me, and will stop giving me a load of flannel every time I call and instead chase it up.
Seems to be more effective than being blanked by secretaries who look at you like something they’ve just scraped off their shoe; or losing it, charging in head first and throwing computers out of the window.
I’ve seen that done btw - way back - though I never did find out if he got paid or not.
Dear Skell90
First of all, may I say that I’ve never worked for, run or operated an agency.
I’ve never owed anybody any wages.
If I don’t get an immediate apology I shall place the matter in the hands of my legal team, K.N.Eeindegooliz & S.McInthemouth, senior partners at DuBious B’Stards and Company.
Kind Regards,
THE Fat Controller
PS Have a nice day

I was £350 light in my wages one week. i called the agency office, they said that’s ok we’ll sort it out next week for you. Not a word about “Will you be ok for money” they couldn’t give a ■■■■. I told them I wanted it sorted out today not next week (now IF they’d ASKED?). Impossible I was told. “OK, see you in the office Monday morning,” said I. “Are you threatening me?” was the response. “No, I’m just telling you I WILL be in the office on Monday morning to see you, good day to you sir.”
20 minutes later one of the other office bods rings to tell me my money is being sorted right now!

Dear the THE Fat Controller,
That’s exactly the sort of ■■■■■■■■ I’d expect the Fat Controller to come out with.
Please immediately apologise for your demand for an immediate apology.
Thing is, it was a clueless fly by night operation who treated their drivers like ■■■■■■ I did one day for him, but he neglected to let me know I was booked in for the following day and threw a wobbler when I didn’t show up. ‘You’ll never work in this town again etc’
Anyway, he paid me for the day and I found work somewhere else.
Then a couple of weeks later he rang and asked if I wanted work. So I sez ‘no’ not for you matey.
Then he said ‘I’ve paid someone else’s wages into your bank by mistake, so I want you to go down the bank RIGHT NOW, withdraw it and bring it over to me within the hour.’
So I sez. ‘No problem master! I’ll be straight over! Would you like me to wash your car before or after?’
Dear Skell790
I notice I still haven’t received an apology over your false accusation that I owe you money.
This has left me with no option but to pass the matter to Back, Sakenkrack, Neecap & Knackersac, the well known firm of Criminal Lawyers.(I’m not sure if the adjective “criminal” refers to their speciality, or their fees).
For the record, according to one of your supporters, m4rky,I’m a tight [ZB]. As a son of the White Rose, I’m not tight, I’m careful.
I await your response, and hope that BSN&K don’t cause too much pain extracting an apolpgy & retraction.
Best wishes
The Fat Controller.
PS Enjoy the Bank Holiday, I’ll be working
