The "fun" continues
Aug. 9th, 2014 06:56 pmI went out to the market and accidentally left my phone at home on the dining room table. Upon my return, there was both a missed call and an e-mail from this charming person, because they wanted me to fix something ON A SATURDAY. And they wanted it, "ASAP," of course.
Call me crazy, but I'm fairly certain that you don't get to terminate a contract with somebody, and then ask them to do more work. ON A SATURDAY.
I forwarded the e-mail to the tech staffing firm and asked them how or if I should respond, because I'm honestly not sure what the appropriate course of action is. And, well, I certainly don't want to engage with this person again, if I don't have to.
Jesus. Why do the crazy ones seem to find me?
EDIT: SO, after some advice from the staffing agency, I e-mailed the client saying, thanks, but no thanks, but I don't feel comfortable providing additional support, in light of the fact that the contract was terminated. I CCed the staffing agency on that e-mail.
The client just now e-mailed me (without the staffing agency CCed), asking if I can fix the issue, and that they will pay for my time. OH MY GOD. What part of, "No, thank you," do they not understand?
It's a freakin' Wordpress plugin that you can control through the Dashboard, and doesn't require any code knowledge to use. IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD.
