Man, that sucks about losing a good client. If you are like me you eat of the bottom line, and if their ain't no bottom line we don't pay our bills.

I think Richard might let you borrow one of his swords or ninja stars to help release your frustrations.

Good luck, tel your client "you get what you pay for"... **** em if they don't want you to handle their business, they will be back...

Hi all, OP here......OK so here's the thing... I had a melt down yesterday

I hung up the phone with a client who had just informed me that they are taking the work we do for them at 2 dollars a unit and sending it to a company in India who supposedly offers the same service for 60 cents a unit. This will represent about $20,000 per month in lost revenue for my company and about 15%-20% of our workflow.

I was in a scream at the wife, kick the dog mood and since I had about 30 mins before another meeting, decided to turn off my brain and browse the forums for a bit to take my mind off the real world. But every thread had a "Bird are you here" or some random gif and I lost it.

I can't yell at the client, screaming at the wife never works out in my favor and kicking a 12 pound shitzu is not a good idea.... so I unleashed on you guys. I was gonna delete the original post but then the rest of the thread makes no sense so I'll just own it and apologize.

Just as an FYI... I actually started at the Z before I found FRF and did both forums until they started deleting my posts about pricing for perch adjustments and group buys for local shops that werent "approved vendors" so I havent been back.


Apologies again for trying to upset the balance of the forum

TT

I have "nice medicine" that the doctor told me to take for times like that. So next time, don't break our balls. Take your medicine first before you post, we all could be spamming somewhere else.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm gonna knock off early and belly up to a poker table and forget about my troubles for a few hours.

Everything will be better tomorrow.
