When he's YOUR fired up Cajun. I took my construction manager to a meeting with a guy that is insanely rich that we are doing a job for. In typical rich guy, prick fashion, he wanted to try and renegotiate the agreed upon price, AFTER contracts have been signed and work had started. Even though we had our bases covered, I realize that meetings like this are had in a way that the other party thinks they are going to get somewhere. As the man asked why he should pay so much for labor, I started explaining the process, breaking down the costs. When I got finished talking, my construction manager, who was pretty fed up with the guy by now, spoke up and said in a loud voice, "because you f***ing signed the contract agreeing to it, that's why!" The guy couldn't have been more shocked if he had been slapped. Long story short, work continues at our price.

That's a perfectly good way to not work for or have another contract with that "rich guy" or anybody that he associates with, but to each his own!

Biting your tongue ain't fun, but it sure beats starving! Realize too that you don't know the details of who this man is or what the situation is. Personally, I would have been fine not taking the job but that isn't my call.

He told my pops he was to organized lmao he got some other joker to do his cabinets and he screwed them, the builder and the damn roofer!
How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom? Everyone. All of them...
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

Yep, some folks work a lifetime and still don't understand that you don't necessarily want every job that comes along. Easy jobs working with reputable people get really good prices. Tough jobs doing work for people that have tried to shaft you will result in premium pricing next time around.

Personally, I would have been fine not taking the job but that isn't my call. You are right but there is a business way to handle things and well there a wrong way to handle things. Future work always get priority! And it is ALWAYS easier to get work by good referral than bad referral. I don't think anybody from this site goes running out to a business that gets bashed by somebody on here for poor customer service.
