   I'd love to hear from people who work in consulting firms that occasionally pass work through to subcontractors. How is this situation typically handled?

   Yeah, I'm guessing that the issue might be that they're trying/considering negotiating a flat rate(s) and/or monthly retainers, but I agree that it would be very difficult to do that profitably.

   This is helpful. I haven't read "Getting to Yes." I should add, that neither conversation was particularly acrimonious. Just frustrating because no reason for switching to a flat rate, beyond that that was how they were doing
