re: #449 The Vicious Babushka

Friend of mine was an electrical contractor for around 20 years. Finally quit when he got fed up with people constantly trying to get out of paying him (or outright refusing to) despite the written contracts they had signed and agreed to. Of course he could (and did in some cases) go after them in court but spending money and time on lawyers and court dates means less time available to actually do his job.

Now he has a salaried position and, while he misses some of the freedoms of his contractor job, he appreciates being paid promptly every two weeks.
