OK 3 times now in the last 2 months I have et "designers" that claim to have done the work of certain sites or print jobs only to find out by pure accident that the work was done by another agency out of state.
What is up with the ethics of younger designer nowadays? If you didn't do all of the work don't claim it ALL as your own, say you worked on a part of it IF you did at all - and I know you didn't because Wiretree and Mindflood don't have offices in Orlando-BTW all 3 of you bastards are here in Orlando, Florida and I, as well as others will be letting the word be known when enter your names for the ADDY's this year. and you call yourself designers.!

I especially like it when someone gets caught for ripping off someone else and then says "OMG, I can't believe this happened. We have fired/talked to/yelled at our designer [usually a new person] and are really sorry about this."
I wonder if it actually is someone who designed the site for them, or if it is the person who is telling you this story.

after being around in this industry for a while, it's so easy to ask around from people i know about the candidates. but yeah, i am amazed that people think they can get away with it. so stupid. once you get a bad rep, that stays around and goes around for a while. after all, it's a small industry.

I'm always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt like Jaline said. There's many bad liars who never get caught and it's easy to push blame around.

true jaline.
whenever i'm doing work, in house or full-time, for a company i hate i rip everything i do. then, when i leave the company i destroy all evidence of me being there. then, wait 3 months and send a polite email to the ripee and inform them of the rip. then i sit back and say 'you mother fuckers should have paid me more money huh!?!'

we've had ppl at interview for AS dev work who were fine all the way throguh the interview and 'had' great examples of work. but when sat in front of flash and asked to do some very simple tasks failed to actually know how to use the software.....following this they even argued we would be able to teach them!
