Yeah I like it! Me & client team up vs media seller!
The thing is the media seller is already shoving blame with both hands as far away from themselves as possible, all the while using phrases like "now I don't want to accord blame here, but..." etcetera. They already blamed me AND the client for signing off. This is what you're dealing with. I made a printing mistake near 11 years ago when I forgot to proofread a mag ad. I got a bollicking but I fessed up and the boss was cool and appreciated the honesty. This here feels very different. This is pure politics, and it's way over my head, but i'm not going to lie there as they pass the vaseline around. If you make yourself an easy target that's all that will happen. This is a major thing when you're self employed, there's no boss to act as a buffer between you and the jerks. Still, at the end of it all, if it comes out OK it will be because I have always been upfront and hardworking with this client and they appreciate it. I'll keep y'all updated.- maybe you should get out of printing all togetyher =)CALLES
