Of Mice and Men: A Tragic Story
Posted on | August 28, 2008 | No Comments
Just received a fax from a client. If you read through all the bullets and get down to the meat of the content, it says – more or less:
- Three times as many pictures are now required
- In some cases, four times as many pictures are required
- And, in not so unusual circumstance aproximately thirty minutes of extra work will be added to some assignments
- In some cases, seven times as many pictures are required
- Has to be returned in 48 hours
- There will be no additional fee paid
By the way, all of the requirements are required and we will be watching you. Failure to comply will result in us stealing from you – but we call it a chargeback. We will cut your territory or terminate you.
Terminate! Literally? Or figuratively?
I guess the fax really does not apply to us though. We’re independent contractors and we work for ourselves. We don’t work for them any more. That was effective as soon as the fax spit out the garbage.
