I sense high degree of manipulative behavior there. You sure "missed out" lol!
Good riddance to asshats is what I say. Life's far too short to deal with yahoos like this. From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 12:39 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Cc: Chuck McCown <ch...@go-mtc.com> Subject: [AFMUG] OT something I learned Over the years, I went from taking every opportunity and frequently low balling to get the work to turning away many more opportunities than I take. Just this morning a guy that had been trying to get me to help him develop some kind of ground heater (whatever that is, I think perhaps for thawing ground) a few weeks ago. Here is an email he just sent: So, I have made the assumption you folks are not interested in taking on this project of mine. This will be the SECOND time you've turned away a project for me. I've seen your facility, I know it's capabilities, but it just seems there's no real interest in outside work. With the funds I had allotted to have this work done, I have decided to use to purchase our own equipment. With all the writing all over your building, I was pretty sure you folks would be THEEE place to get some one-off things accomplished. We will be doing our work now in house, or have several operations in Montana for the larger pieces. We were really looking forward to doing business with you, but sadly, that ship has sailed. I understood that.. no one even wanted to quote either project. Both fit your production capabilities. We had time to wait. But it's all kind of moot at this point.. We've moved on. I drive by there at least once a week. All the wording on the building and websites just feels misleading at this point. The first project I brought in was pretty small, and was told you didn't have the staff on hand. I tried to present a resume, but no one was interested in that either. So here we are that, about to launch a national company, and now have our own shop. Just would have been nice to get an up front own and honest answer from the start that you guys weren't interested at all, or didn't want the business. I've been waiting for a quote for some time which waged some time, but after the first issue, it's just not worth my time. I just wanted you folks to know where I was coming from I forwarded the only three emails I have ever sent to him. In all I referred him to other shops, never offered to quote. But this is a perfect example of the type of wingnut you want to avoid. Good that in a period of a month he now has his own shop and manufacturing capabilities etc. Lost out bigtime here... yeah, I lost out on bitcoin too. Oh well.
