I didn’t click on the article but I saw the headline about Trump giving someone two hours to change something…I thought it was about masks and making them manditory. Idk.
I wouldn’t do anything that trump told me to do.
Lol sorry I’m off on bunny trails. I’ve been trying to go in public without a mask on but you can’t go anywhere in Texas without them.
Rebel much.
Against him? Always.
Funny. I hadn’t noticed. 
You’re in Texas? Did you move? Or just visiting?
I live less than a mile from the state line. I do most all of my grocery shopping in Texas.

It surprises me you have such a petite wife.
Dear Will. I am thinking of firing one of my clients today. He introduces huge delays and then blames me for them. He doesn’t give me the information I need, ignores my emails nagging him, and he misses meetings. I also find him quite irritating on a personal level. I do have a contract with him, however, and I don’t want to renege.
I am thinking of calling him up and saying, “Look, we don’t have a good relationship. Let’s not litigate the details but the bottom line is you blame me for our problems and I blame you. We don’t like each other. I don’t want to renege on our deal and won’t, but if you are so inclined I am willing to totally release you from our contract effective immediately. We can walk away and you can get someone else with nothing lost on your side. If not, we can carry on as agreed and I will make my best effort to do what I agreed to do. The choice is yours. What do you say?”
What’s your opinion? (Not just Will but everyone who cares to respond.)
It’s worth a try. He might be as miserable as you.
When I first read that piece, I thought, you should cut your losses and walk away. That guy is costing you a fortune.
Then, I started thinking, you didn’t mention anything about why he doesn’t give you information. Why does he ignore your emails? Have you asked him? When you schedule those meetings, are you checking to see if the time you set is compatable or conflicts with his schedule?
Can you imagine what he thinks about you?
Breaking a contract should be a last resort but if it expires, you don’t have to renew it.
I wouldn’t suggest you ever call him. A formal letter seems more appropriate.
Is he your employee, client or a business partner? Because according to the call letter you have penned to him, it sounds like he is your employee but I’m certain you referred to him as your client.
An ultimatum within a plea. Good move. It’s always better when you make them think it was their idea. (I’m thinking, you’ve done this before) It takes the pressure off and reflects well on your patience.
It would be easier if he was your employee. You could just call up another employee, give them a raise and promotion and make them do the dirty work for you.
No doubt!
Yes, I’ve asked him. He says he’s busy. We’re not talking about confidential stuff. We’re talking about details I need to know to do my job.
Of course. I don’t consider a meeting scheduled unless the other person has agreed and confirmed. I will call at the agreed upon time and he’ll say, “Oh, were we supposed to meet? I’m in Walmart right now. Can we do this tomorrow?”
I’m sure you’re right.
It expires at the end of 2021. I would rather not have this stress for that long, but I signed a deal and I’m not Trump so I’ll live by that deal unless he agrees to walk away.
He’s a client.
I’m going to try it right now. Wish me luck.
I like that. Straight forward and to the point.
I didn’t assume you needed confidential information. If you are in a contract with him I’m assuming you used good judgment in choosing to enter into that contract. Perhaps the issue is not his busy schedule but your patience.
Oh, I see. He’s making excuses so he doesn’t have to deal with your cranky ass. Have you thought about doing a dude thing. Go drink a beer with him and if a door opens, go through it and ask your questions. If it doesn’t, you had a great time and so did he.
I’m sure you’re confused
Luck!
I really think this blog/forum is hurting your reputation and business. I apologize really for some of the responses and comments I have made to you that have contributed to that.
Maybe you should make it more private. Or just do away with it and set us all up here on some type of video conferencing once a month.
Let me try calling you again and speaking gorilla.
