Ah, you hear but you don't listen, why aren't you answering the questions? No contractor can do his job without their tools? I'll answer, when do you make the "business" decision that you have enough tools for the day rather than sit there and pay for time wasted waiting for something that may not show up, you don't, because you can't. Do you pay your employees for wait time, if not shouldn't you? If you had to, you might think differently, maybe even independently. As for the lawyer, that was your "customers" best and pretty much only defense, I agree not much of a case. As for contracting, I do it all the time, except I do it on mutually agreed terms, not the take it or leave it terms you are under. When did you "negotiate" terms of any unilateral addendum's your "customer" placed on you. It's a scam, and that is your legacy you are forging, good luck with that, now please return to topic rather than bash news you don't like to hear, be productive, not destructive. I have no stake in this game, just trying to start positive dialogue and raise questions, that you don't like to answer, so that it can be better for all Fred's employees.
Bitter...no, better off...much!
