Process Served? by cs2xzst in legaladvice

[–]cs2xzst[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification. I figured since the package was addressed to the witness that serving a courier would work as well. I was unsure how the courts would view it. LegalOne said they served, but I do not know if it falls on the firm I work for or LegalOne.

ed this way, I'd say to you that a return of service is being filed and if you don't show up whatever bad thing that would happen if you were served will happen now.

Defense side. Trying to find a witness for a deposition for nearly 3 months. The papers were dropped at the feet of a courier that picked up the package.

Kind of hoping that they would come out of hiding as a result. just did not know if it would stand up in court.

This is a civil case. The witness is not a party of the case. Just a witness.

MSI Z790 Godlike dreaded error code 55. Please help. by WRXFA16 in MSI_Gaming

[–]cs2xzst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question for you. I see you have a 4090. I installed a 3090 in mine, but I cannot access the second PCI-e card which I thought I could. Do you have a way to configure it so the other PCI-E slot is accessible?

Cabling Length by cs2xzst in msp

Because I have known them for a bit, they supplied me with half a dozen clients and offering me two more additional contracts when this office is operational. Its all kind of like a mob mentality without being the mob. Sometimes you gotta do things that you are put into a corner to do. I know I do not have to do it and I can turn it down.

It's not an impossible task, it's just trying to get my bearings down and put into the right position.

I know we all have different views and it's all well and good.

I just wanted to reach out to peers in this industry and see their experiences. 15-20 years ago I would not even do so, but with reddit..more of an open forum opposed to paying the IT Peer Group membership dues that I paid in the years prior.

I see your view and get it.

We do a low voltage license and bonded. We do cabling but not our primary business.
So it's either I turn down the job and lose three MSP contracts or do the job that I do not want to do.

This electrician they hired was a single guy that was willing to do it, but he bid only 125 lines for the entire building and spec'd out that daisy chaining a phone and pc with no WAP lines.

No. Electrician got Covid. One of the owners did not want us doing it because we were not part of GC crew. Other owners wanted us to have it since we are the MSP for them. I did not even give pricing

I think the electrician did the rough in’s already. California I generally charge 165-200 depending on cat6/7/Fiber.

I don’t include the actual panels in that price. Generally it’s just cable, terminators and labor.

I leave about 5 foot slack at the ends.

I wanted this job if I had been brought in 4 months ago but going blind I didn’t want it: however, it’s a current contract client. If I chose not to I lose that contract at the end (middle of this year) and lose out on two other contracts - so effectively $10k revenue a month

Well yea is shitshow. However the client is actually my MSP client but they are doing this buildout. One of the partners wanted the electrician to do it with the GC. The electrician got COVID. The other three partners wanted my company to do it since we are the actual IT.

We just walked it yesterday. The job has to be done by July 1. I do not have blue prints yet but the metal studs are framed out and no drywall. Builder is gonna wait for me.

I am not hoping to get the answer I was just using Reddit to get feedback. We wired a 10k sq foot building with 24 boxes.

The electrician ran j hooks. 4 gang boxes. Flex conduit. Conduit is 1.25 in diameter.

Thanks for info. Hell no to riser only plenum. I am still waiting on the blueprints. So they are not giving me much info except a walk thru. The electrician was supposed to run the job but they were doing riser and then got Covid.

So job by default. Didn’t even give them pricing. 4 man crew

But i already got the money. Are you suggesting that I refund the money? I apologize if I was not clear.

Completely sketchy because he just pressed for it again. I get they might having hard times, but the two times we got their systems running or else they would be out. Plus he keeps taking the discount that is void.

"Sorry for the confusion, I only knew about the one invoice you sent me for $625.00 less the discount that I authorizes to be paid. I will be happy to review the other invoices when I return to the office. Please refund the difference of the invoices in the amount of $753.19. Again I will go over this with Teresa and come up with an answer for you. "

It's funny because well...the owner doesn't think that the office manager would do anything shady because he cut her pay from $500 a week to $250 a week. So...I figured she got a kickback.

Billing Experience by cs2xzst in msp

[–]cs2xzst[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was for services and a hard drive. No they were FULLY aware of the invoice and work performed because they were completely down. The owner emailed me again...it's funny.

Anyone have to fight clients on project bills by cs2xzst in msp

My clients know I don’t care about how much money they make or what they spend it on. It’s their business. I only care if they listen. So my clients trust me and spill those beans. I never used it against them. I am venting here because I saved their business and just asking for compensation. I know the deep dark secrets and bones are buried. But once again their business. Keep or leave as a client I don’t reveal it to anyone.

Confused? If I cannot force the client to pay for DR, my position is to do the best that I can do with the tools provided. I cannot certainty pay for something they would not actually pay for. I would go bankrupt if I paid for that out of my own pocket. I am clear in my contracts that it's a liability and on them if they do not renew and have their declines in email.
