A subcontractor responded
extremely rudely
and over-the-top emotionally
to one of my questions.
My first reaction,
based purely on emotion,
was to tell him
to f*ck off.
I’d work
with someone else
to finish the job.
Except that
might have placed the project
in jeopardy.
It would have definitely
delayed the project’s completion.
So I sucked back
my anger
and I am continuing to work
with him.
For this project.
For future projects,
I’ll work with other people.
And he definitely won’t
be receiving any referrals
from me.
Don’t make decisions
or shift relationships
based on emotion.
Think before you react.
