Nothing too major i suppose.
Im a self employed carpet fiter..been working for many different shops for many years.
2 main contracts others as and when.
A few weeks back one shop found out id done a job for a guy who does interior design 4 miles from shop ,he supplies the stuff i just turn up and fit.
Guy said if i fit for interior design he doesnt want me working for him,so i ask why, he has personal issues with him.
Although his wife works for his company making curtains ..so if his wife works for him..why cant I ?
So yesterday he found out i was fitting for interior design company,not on a day i work for him i may add,and calls me with an ultimatum.
Him or me....so i argued my case that i can work for whoever i want..he says yes,but if you work for him you will have no work for me.
Now i dont do ultimatums well..and felt backed into a corner and bullied ,so i made the decision not to bow to his rules and walked out on a 8yr contract.
Shame in my eyes...but why should his personal feelings get in the way of my work.
So things maybe a little tight till i get into some more contracts to fill those days.
So heres to a new and brighter future...
