Ethical Rules for CLIENTS
On December 7 I spent four hours in a medical office attempting to restore internet. The actual problem was that Optimum had changed equipment out on the pole, so nobody had internet, thus my assigned task was void. Still, a kid from Cablevision had totally screwed up the inside of the network with moved cables and public IP addresses (yes, public) so I had to reset everything and then diagnose the MISSING DNS servers for a spell until Cablevision did arrive and confirmed their work outside was the fault point. So, four hours of relatively good work.
Client did not want to pay me. I did not restore internet.
I am taking him to court if I have to.
How about clients who respect and honor the commitment and expertise of the people they call in for a job!!!!!!!!!! Oh, if I was not incorporated, I could do small claims court, but NO, a company has to file a civil complain to I may have to do court costs. My other option is write him off as a bad debt (I am never working there again anyway) and move on.
CLIENTS! They should have ethics too.
