Just had an opportunity to come in and work for what sounds like an absolutely wonderful client that I regretfully declined.
The phone call ended like this: "So, you want me to come in and fix your 20+ seat environment that you are not entirely sure exactly what's wrong with, you have zero documentation for and you are not going to pay me but you want me to bill your previous IT guy that you fired and hope that he pays ?"
An additional comment from the writer later on in the feed:
"After a little careful social engineering I manged to find the previous tech they had. Apparently it is an entirely (pirated) XP environment with a cheap ass nas box doing simple file shares and a consumer grade router.
She was fired for insisting that they should at least attempt to become legal and was apparently getting paid minimum wage.
Apparently this guy is going through the phone book trying to find someone to take this on and is bad mouthing everyone who says no to the next person he calls.
I am seriously happy I noped the fuck out of that."

Okay I know I have been posting a lot from Reddit lately, but Reddit is nicknamed the Front Page of the Internet for a reason. It is awesome. I highly recommend getting on this bandwagon and heading over there.
