Have you ever ended things with a contractor just...because?

Wait 5 sec.

My company is still pretty young, we only have one client as of right now. When I first started getting leads, I went to Fiverr. That's where I met this guy. He was cheap, reliable, he did a good job. Easy enough. So I worked with him regularly. I eventually brought him onboard, set an email up for him and invited him on Slack. He even learned the software we're using. Since then though, I've realized he grinds my gears. A lot. He sends me messages in channels about things that should be in DMs. When he does send a DM, he says "Hi." That's it. No actual information about what he wants. I've just started ignoring his messages until he actually says what he wants. This week he asked me to send him a testimonial video. I said that was fine, and that I'll get it to him this week. But he's reminded me twice this week already, and he only sent that message to me on Monday. (And while we're on it -- his first reminder was a screenshot of me agreeing to it and asking if I remembered. Absolute insanity). Idk, I know communication could be better on my end -- but I feel like he lacks such basic communication skills that I'd rather find someone else than have to hold his hand every step of the way. Anyone else ever been in a position like this?   submitted by   /u/ZealousidealBank8484 [link]   [comments]
