****I don’t treat MY clients “equally.” Why the hell would I expect someone else to?****
If all parties that you do business with are fine with that given full disclosure, more power to ya.
****It also explains why I only hire family members and contractors.****
That sounds to me like you are either on the inside track, or you are sufficiently under the radar that you are comfortable stating such on an open forum. Do you believe al are as fortunate as you?
*all*
I don't know what "full disclosure" means. For most of my clients the terms of my contracts are private. If I sell my services to one client for $X and another client for $Y, neither one of them has any right to know what the other one is paying.
