I work in IT and i am employed by a Service Provider. They have me based at a client’s for the last 5 years. So i don’t directly work for the client. my manager is a direct employee of the client.

 

i am quite friendly with my manager and told him i was thinking of asking for a raise, he said yeah sounds good and that he should be able to approve but he’ll discuss directly with the service provider who are my employer.

 

So my lot (service provider) get onto me like “great news your raise has been approved and it’s X amount “

I was a little underwhelmed and my manager asked me why so sad essentially. we talked and he told me that he approved a raise for 4 times what i was offered essentially.

I went back to my guys asking if they can do any better and they said “our hands are tied, take it or leave it”. I didnt let on that i’ve been told the approved raise is 4 times what they’ve offered me.

Anybody been in a similar position and any advice ?

 

Contracting makes you feel like a prostitute who has a pimp taking their cut for no reason, but taking 75% of my raise is surely a complete piss take.
