oh... a government entity did that to me once
they hired me to do a bunch of work. i gave them a price. we signed on it.
halfway through it and me still waiting for my initial down payment i get a call from the guy i was working with.
they had run down the budget line for my purchase and could i do it for less.
i said okay i can work for less but i have to do a smaller package. i can’t deliver on the initial thing (the initial thing required me to hire a bunch of contractors)
he protested but i tried to explain that i would lose money
i never heard back and was left holding my dick...
this story is not about corporations though. itks about the challenges a business faces. FROM ALL SIDES.
anyway i really have to go to the bread line now and get my rations from party chairman comrade bernie
