RE: Frustration from Unpaid Work
That is a very unfavourable situation. And it doesn't help you that there are also clients in Europe, in Germany, who don't pay their bills on time or at all. The public sector is indeed one of the most delinquent payers here as well. I got into the habit a long time ago of no longer accepting orders from them. But - I have the choice. Maybe that is not possible in your situation and you are dependent on it...
But in no case would I deliver inferior work. That does not fit in with my work ethic and my self-image. I prefer to go to court (do you have an independent judiciary?).
And: of course this post would also be welcome in Dream Steem! We don't have a thematic limit; you express your feelings, your outrage. You do what a writer does: you write about it!
Sadly (due to necessity) I have to accept the orders of these people, and it's not exactly something I feel comfortable with, but necessity obliges =( .
It is an evil that exists everywhere, but certainly in developed countries I have the impression that it is seen less frequently. Politicians, they are corrupt without borders.
Oh and thanks for clarifying the community thing, because I was afraid of committing an infraction, that's why I preferred to publish it on my blog just in case I didn't screw up.
