> promises an office, salary, ect
> only thing he requires is me to dev

> arrange a job with him to get an admin panel done for 3.2k, give me 90 days
> kid says ight, I'll get you the money next week
> well it's now 2 weeks and I've only seen $100 with a snarky comment attached
> keeps going around in circles, giving excuses, blaming his "cfo"
> chocked this up to be bullshit a few weeks ago - before all this
> recently started launching my own product due to his inability to deliver
> selling a few products hur n' dur - telling him all of what's going on
> kid still on about his product, his dream, and "our future"

> he gets me a few clients tho
> gets me a real gem of a client
> client expects a whole website, back, front, left, right, and everything in-between
> client wants a panel for people to log into, including diff levels for these users, user management, recent sales, invoices - I mean everything - relatable to crm
> quote client 2.8k and give me a month or 2
> client declines and was expecting 1.2k...
> client got recent quotes from India for 2.4k - $400 you get English
> say gg and plan to use client's idea in the future
> cause' fuck your cheap ass - biz is biz

Welp that's the end of my spew really.

I've posted this as I'm frustrated with the fact this dude has been beating around the bush with nothing to show.

Moral of the story: Don't dick people around.

I want to hear your guy's stories and lessons.

A family friend wanted me to work for his company doing the labor for him for cash and being paid under minimum wage for physical labor. He tried to spin it off like he was giving ME the deal.

>"hey bud, I can get you a job working construction. Its hard work and shit pay but maybe you can finally move out of your parents place huh?"
>no

>no
>"ok, well hope you get going some day kiddo..."
>k


Family friend goes onto tell parents he tried but I wouldn't accept the offer. Jesus all my parents want me to do is work work work, they don't care at all about what I want. I just want to be friends with pony sparkles and watch rainbows and play with my katana.

hope you're not working without down payments. I usually take half pre and half post. It totally changes the way the client treats you.

and in freelancing you run into startup retards all the time. this post made me google some old ones I did work for years ago and none of them ever went anywhere. The truth is freelancing is basically taking money from stupid rich people for ideas that are bound to fail.

that's not me you fags, kek

Nothing to really greentext though. He just offered a really shit job making him money and thought he was doing me a favor for some reason. When I made more and with less work.

I dunno just pisses me off when someone tries to give you a shitty deal and really tries to sell it as something amazing as if you're retarded and don't know how much it(your time in this case) is worth
