OToneH, this is standard procedure in the building trade and it doesn't really put undue pressure on the workers as it's they themselves who get to help work out the project finish date. It just keeps them on their toes. My guess is they farmed in someone in the TMO who had experience in the trade to draw up the contract. OTOH, I personally witnessed a few instances where people who had been hired to do things for us were treated like they didn't matter and a fair few of us were shocked at, not just the lack of respect shown, but at the casual way the image of the TMO would be trashed in the eyes of the people we messed around or we didn't pay for services. I cared about things like that then and thought the idea that "it must be their karma or it wouldn't have happened" was a sad dodge of decent manners. But then they are all just pawns in Nature's grand design and don't understand their place in the great unfolding of HoE. Apparently. > So I think your description of HoE is pretty accurate.
