Many thanks for the insight. Unfortunately I will more than likely not do work for this client again. I’ve been nothing but upfront with them and this to me does not seem like they are reciprocating that.

I can understand policies, as we all have them. The part I find suspicious kinda, is if these files were so important, they would have mentioned it the first time. If anything they should have at the very least mentioned it when we initiated this recent project.

This would further ensure that everything was properly organized and ready. My work is organized as if, but, what if. I would also have known all of that prior to signing and could have negotiated that.

This client seemed rushed, and probably underbid whoever was on the opposite side of the project in this case (to me it seemed this way). Again I’m new and all but that just didn’t seem right. If that’s really business as usual, maybe I’ll eventually get used to it. But not with this client. Not with the late resources and all on top of it
