I'm now in pain from laughing so hard after digging through other strips from the same artist.
I'm . . . sorry? Yeah, the strip on website design is too spot on.

Business ethics/practice question? Went to do a simple install of part I ordered for client. Took me 15 minutes to figure out part was bad and 2 hour 45 minutes to get vendor to admit part was bad. "Just try this one more thing."
So I'm thinking that even though I charge for my time, implicitly that is for productive labor. Right now I'm strongly leaning toward not billing the client for the time I spent today. I'm thinking there is both a fairness issue and a maintain good relations with the client issue here, and both say to me "waive the charges."
I dunno, does anyone running a small business have a different point of view on this?

And having a witness or recording anything doesn't really matter. They can stay entirely within guidelines while making unreasonable requests and negative performance evaluations. If they want you out they can just keep making the job horrible until you've got to go.
This--I just meant if you recorded it, if they said crazy things, or asked you to do things that they later said you hadn't done, or something, you'd have some sort of defense with Unemployment if they tried to deny it. I'm saying you need to start gathering proof for that, now, since they seem to want you out.

I would waive the charges, for both reasons. I might contact the vendor and ask for some consideration (discounts, extra parts, etc.) for the time that you spent with their tech, which was pretty significant for the damn thing not to work.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
