Man I hate this too. See some fly by night mob open up, get too much credit from somewhere and suddenly they roll around like they are the kingpins of the industry. A year later and everyone is at the auction buying all their stuff for cheap.
Suddenly client's expect the jobs to be done at the same price that the other mob went broke on, guys expect to be paid to do nothing and have every perk in the world and it ends up stuffing the sector up for a while.
And don't worry Brendon, I agree with your karma story on that guy. Had plenty of them through in my time. Problem is, you can't explain the story properly on a forum for others to understand.
