Today I realised the reason I’m so untrusting of most people I come into contact with but more specifically of ‘professionals’ and ‘subject experts’ that are acting as service and skill providers for me as the client/customer.
My whole life I have flat out refused to accept that the average person i deal with is capable of such a high level of both general and specialised incompetence. I have always chosen to believe that this kind of incompetence is the exception, not the rule. However, utter incompetence by ‘experts’ is encountered so frequently, that with my first belief intact, the only viable conclusion is that the acts are intentional.
We are currently trying to finalise a contract. The 2 parties agreed on terms at 10am last Friday. It took the middleman 6hrs to delete 3 clauses and slightly modify wording in the remaining clause... (4 drafts to get these basic changes correct) The middleman is desperate to broker the deal so has been pushing hard for the contract to be signed. We got the green light from our legal team this morning (middleman in all their urgency failed to get the contract correct in time for the legal review on Friday… they had 4hrs).
Long weekend here so legal review has been completed this morning and we are now ready to sign. Green light given to the broker who sends through the original doc, prior to changes, for signing.🤦♂️ It’s got to be intentional… surely nobody can survive into adulthood with this level of incompetence?
THIS is the reason we MUST remove guard rails and warning signs from cliff tops.
