This is something they don't teach you in consultant school. There is such a thing as a bad client; one where they will never be satisfied no matter how well you deliver, even over deliver.
Instead of looking at what you can do for their company (boost profits, ROI), they will try and haggle over penny. Take ages to pay, if pay you at all.. Find excuses to get money off of invoices.
Just as bad employees are more likely to me looking for jobs. Bad companies will be more likely to be looking for staff/ contractors. Beware, know the signs for next time!
- josho 11y agoThe honest truth is that I knew this was a bad client going in. I knew when things were starting to go south. In hindsight I should have been more aggressive leaving, I think my personal sense of loyalty to completing the contract interfered with accepting the warning signs that were being presented. Lesson learned.
