Owning a small plumbing repair business, I fired customers when I felt that we did not have a good working relationship even though they paid for the work I was doing.
Sometimes after a couple of years of being their plumber you get another call from them and you have to explain that you won’t accept it, that you are letting them go, and that they will have to find another company.
comfort words bs.
they pay you, you refuse to take the money and work FOR that money.
They can force you to work for them.
you can force them to pay you for work you did.
