“I REALLY need this job. No.. seriously, you don’t understand, I’m in a really bad place and this is my way out! Please hire me… PLEASE!”
“OK, I’ve sent you 3 emails, 4 texts, and left you 6 voicemails — why won’t you get back to me about the money I’m asking to borrow?”
“I’m not writing a single line of code until you agree to pay me what I think I’m worth to you.”
How are these approaches working out for you? Not too well? Didn’t think so.
