Absolutely flabergasted! 25 y.o. crew member gives my client his business card

Your missing the whole point. He should have made a binding contract. I don’t care how long you have been in the business.
-
I’m not missing anything. Trust SHOULD be implicit between professionals. This is a small job that shouldn’t require a contract. Do you have to draw up a contract with your mechanic not to rifle through your cd’s, take your loose change and cigarettes out of your glove box and text your wife to ask her out for a date? Your original post claimed the freelancer hadnt done anything wrong?

The guy screwed up. Don’t hire him again. I used to say “and tell him what he did wrong”. However, I’ve recently gotten into a ton of b.s. trying to help a younger idiot by explaining what he did wrong.
It’s not an age thing, though. It’s an idiot thing.
I shoot people.

Hey Patrick,
My original idea was to collect a bunch of responses from my post and when I send him his check I would include the link to this thread.
Later,

That would be called devils advocate. Do you know what that is? And I also went on to say that it may not be the way we want it but it is the way it is. Unless that contract is put in place then he is free to give his card to whoever. What, it’s a big bad world and the guy diddent play nice? Get over it.

Thank you! It has nothing to do with age

And just because you don’t see fit to make a contract does not mean others don’t do it.
-
So you make a contract with every freelancer you employ? Would you care to pass on the wording of that?
-
Do I make a contract that insures the aragement is to my liking? Yes I do…not sure I get what’s so hard to grasp here. If you conduct business without contracts than that’s just bad business.
-
Yes, so the last contract that you drew up for a freelancer that ensured they wouldn’t hand a business card…can we see it?
