Fuck You Pay Me

Fuck you pay me  :(

I never dreamt of using these words to my clients, my loving clients. They were very good to me, appraised my work so much. Promised me lots of work and I was working for them unconditionally without even asking them to pay invoices on time as I was confident they will pay me soon.

Now months are passing and what I am getting from them, YOU HAVE ASSURANCE from my side to get paid soon but not now or I have got something great in my bucket and I have put this project on back burner for 6 months so I'll pay you after 6 months. WOW! But I need to pay wages to my employees and I can't say them that you have assurance that you will get paid but for sometime please live without any money, you can go for fast for 6 months its good for health or lend money from bank to live you life which they were enjoying with their salaries.

Client don't understand this, according to them delay in delivery is un-professional and delay in payments is  ABSOLUTELY FINE and otherwise they will not give you good feedback or post something bad about you on Social Media (I hate social media for this because how hard you justify yourself there are still chances your reputation will get hit badly from that ugly comment or video or blog) we can't utter a word as they have got whatever they need from us.

What is even worse if you have client in other country as it becomes really hard to chase them, thanks to Voicemail they don't even have to worry about picking my call AWESOME.

Sometime ago I read a discussion over linkedin that Elance is dead and soon Likedin will be dead, is this because of India? LOL really, I mean really. Whenever good company or individual gets the work and complete that on time, what they deserve delay in payments which don't even frustrating and even heart breaking. "I am doing awesome job and now why there is delay in payment and even if there are some issues, at least have courtesy to discuss with me".

I am really not sure whether I should stop working on his project or continue and hope he'll make payment soon. I am really disappointed and hate chasing clients rather working on cool projects.

Hard lesson learnt never ever trust client blindly huhhh..I never liked this video until now
