Only had one instance early on on the self-employed world. Contract and everything. Huge project for a major hospital facility in Philly going through an all-women ad agency. Spent months on the project. Hospital and agency loved the work, nothing wrong on that end. Sent them everything.
Came time to pay up, they took 11 months, ignored my calls and emails. I was polite about everything. Ended up getting legal involved. Just took one letter. Paid the next Friday.
One of the producers leaves and goes to a big ad agency and contacts me several years later. I notice the old agency no longer exists. I didn't even respond to her, just for the simple fact that I was being ignored for months on end.
Learn your lessons I guess. Make sure you do the homework on the people you're doing work for. Don't just work for anyone willing to pay moneys.

The bridge is usually already on fire from the other end when I do.

a company i worked for got a new CEO who was obviously there to "shake things up" but was really a corporate / visionless piece of shit.
anyway, i was the art director and i didn't like the way she was trying to manage my team, and i thought her general management style was completely counter-intuitive to productivity and creativity.
so i prepared a few paragraphs and told her as much. i was quickly let go.

I burned a few but I pushed the annoying bastards off the bridges first, to be certain.

There's nothing more liberating than writing and editing that fuck you email and after looking at it for a bit, you say oh hell, fuck it and send that shit on.
