Just telling my side of the story but it really sucks when a so called friend cuts you out on a job you were talking about doing for months. I definitely do not care about the money end of this one It's just the principle of it.

I used to hire a neighbor as a second cameraman for my side wedding business mostly as a favor to him as he needed the cash. Had him signed up for a wedding one weekend and at the last minute he tells me he took another job that weekend and left me scrambling to find a replacement two days before the wedding. Funny thing is he didn't understand why I was so pissed off. I let him have it and never spoke to him again. People are funny. No good deed goes unpunished. You're a class act Ron, don't let it get to you.

When you own a business you have no "friends".Only business associates. I just retired from corporate ownership (sold my factory and retired well). My wife was the first to notice that people who acted like my friends stopped calling when the money dried up as I was no longer signing the front side of checks to them. I knew it would happen and tried to explain it to her. Conversely there are annual trade shows for my former industry and the new owners are setting up booths at those. Through a contact I heard the people I worked with over several decades were: shocked that I sold out and retired,missed me, and had very nice things to say about my business ethics,ability, and desire to help any and all that asked. That made me feel pretty good.

G'day Bondo, It's not a nice feeling to find out that you've been "lead to believe", that the job is yours, then they get in someone else. I'm getting a thicker skin, as I get older. Your story about being left sitting on the bleachers, is all part of "the joys of being self employed" I was left feeling let down, after a similar incident, and a wise old man said to me, as he held up his five fingers, "If you have this many good friends in a lifetime, you'll be doing ok" I'm lucky, I have a few good friends that have stuck by me through thick and thin, mind you, i think that one of the tests of "friendship"is if you can still work together after some fairly big disagreements.

When you depend on someone for work and they change on you it feels like a betrayal, but he said he had more guys that he thought and did not expect to show up! Still he should of called you about his dilemma! He was probably overwhelmed at the moment and as an afterthought realized he cut you out! Things happen sometimes, just do not depend on him next time, but it was most likely an error in judgement. Roll with the punches, speak your mind, and let it drop! You still have jobs with him!

I'd still be cordial and all... but, yeah, I wouldn't even consider working with him and I'd make sure he knows why... but then outline what has to happen if we are every going to take on a project together - like half the revenue upfront before you even BEGIN to consider making room in your schedule...

Yeah. It's hard to be a worker especially in NY. It's to cold here in PA to be messing with mud. Stay safe.

I admit I don't know much about concrete work, But does the wire mesh have any benefit if it's laying at the bottom?

You don’t need people like this. He kept you just in case the other guys didn’t work out. Been there done that.

I'm with you on the guy cutting you out. That's bad business ! It is hard when people think that All right to do and you have bailed him out before! He's definitely a man out for himself and not the team.

Yup and I would have handled it way differently.

We just had an uncle whos been painting for our company for almost 20 years. He was the highest paid employee, and whenever he needed anything, he came straight to us. I mean countless favors were done for him and not a single one in return. Just a month ago he threw a hissy fit all over a project we did for a church and told him hes going to be paid hourly on just this job because its practically charity but we still made sure our guys got paid out of pocket. Fast foward a week he quit and went to one of our main clients who gives us massive projects every year and tried to under cut us from our own jobs. He quit and went to start his own "company" and tried to take our customers right out from under our noses. Good thing the guy who gives us a good portion of our jobs every year told us the situation and said that he would never use him and that we would be the first crew he would ever call for any job. All we can do now is laugh at how badly that backfired for him.

The pony is already out of the barn, but maybe business "friends" should come to a pre-agreement where if either of you commits to a job with the other a job cancelation fee applies if a cancelation that is discretionary happens. It IS business after all. Thanks for the videos sir.

Business can be tough, if he wants to work with you again, your price goes up accordingly, simple. Sounds like he was setting himself up as your competitor. So concentrate on just delivering your quality work and the future business will come to you.
