Approached to do some work for a client I had problems with in the past. In the contract negotiations this time, there was a single condition I demanded that was not negotiable if they wished to employ my services. Agreed verbally. Job started. Employers promptly ignored promise made to me and the situation I was attempting to work around for my own mental heath and the quality of the work played out exactly as I feared it would.
@warpedtime I presume you had a penalty clause for ignoring that condition?
@static Like the bloody fool that I am, I trusted the person I negotiated with, and started work before the contact was signed.
