Ok, I know it is an old and already lost battle:
I hate having to chase clients for invoice payments... seriously, I respond to your emails or calls immediately, I work fast, and you never have any complaints about the results.
Why this blatant lack of respect?
Maybe I’m a dying breed, but—damn it—I always look after my collaborators; I pay suppliers promptly and without delay.
Seriously, some people are in for a rude awakening once we get replaced by AI.
* I look forward to watching them suffer while I sit in the shade of a nice tree, with a drink and something on the bbq, chuckling to myself and saying... "Sucks to be you now, you bastards!"
