There's nothing that says "thank you for making us a really successful company from nothing, oh and rich!!!" better than 3 years into a long term deal declaring "fuck you we can't find our copy of the agreement no more money for you." Knowing fine well that anything I show them will be pulled apart because they plain and simple want to keep everything for themselves. Oh the joy.
Even worse in the world of business and finance acceptable ways of dealing with this seem to be:-
1. I'm going to tell my lawyer on you
2. Fake pleasant e-mails that have to end in Kind Regards
3. Cry
Where as according to people wiser than me these are not acceptable ways of resolving the issue:-
1. Physical violence
2. Nipping around the office for a quiet "word"
3. Destroying their business & personal reputations
Sniveling little 2 bit office waller shit bags that wouldn't know about honor if it jumped up and took a dump on their face, and the world is full of them, they are everywhere. It's no wonder Corporate Lawyers earn so much with so many people willing to dick people over. Anyhoo, it's a valuable lesson learned, it's also a very small island which makes this sort of nonsense even stupider. But what can you do? Dig holes that's what.
