Hmm. Your nitpicking is not going well.
Do you need me to spell it out for you: that isn't me in the picture.
If the receivables collection link was not in any way pertinent to you in the discussion, then why did you post it?
Because the impression I got from your posts is that it doesn't happen, and one should choose their business partners better. Lo and behold... All of 'em do it.
Hey man, don't be exposing my income details here please.
I don't support Trump, I hate elitists. My guy for 2020 is that Chinese guy.
I responded initially to your everyone-always-screws-everyone-without-exception post. Perhaps that's a Trump World truism.
You seem heavily invested, emotionally.
I should mention, since I am not doing projects as a commodity provider, I usually have a lot of leverage. Never been stiffed. It's been tried, but fortunately I usually set up (in a game theory way) a huge lose situation for them if they don't pay. Generally, someone will lose their job and they don't want that.
My best interaction was something like this:
"Are you sure you want to challenge a Big Corp like us in court?"
"Me, are you sure you want a judge or the media to hear our recorded phone calls?" (implicit was that our previous phone calls would prove that I was right.)
No more problems after that.
Financing receivables means something is broken. It might be normal to you since it's your job, but it is an indication that your business exists because someone along the line is fucking around. If you can't see that, it's on you.
I refuse to take on any projects that take more than 2 weeks to pay. Maybe 4 weeks if we've already got an established relationship.
